Moscow:
The Kremlin on Thursday overruled a United Nations top court order for Russia to suspend military strikes in Ukraine, a day after judges in The Hague announced their decision.
“We cannot take this decision into account,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He said both sides – Russia and Ukraine – had to agree to implement the decision.
“No consensus can be obtained in this matter,” said Peskov.
The International Court of Justice of the United Nations ruled on Wednesday that Moscow should “immediately suspend military operations on the territory of Ukraine that began on February 24.”
Kyiv dragged Moscow to the top UN court days after President Vladimir Putin launched his military campaign.
Peskov claimed that Moscow’s delegation in negotiations with Kyiv to end the fighting “showed much greater readiness than our counterparts to negotiate.”
