Ukraine moves International Court of Justice against Russia
Ukraine has approached the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Russia’s unprovoked aggression. It comes on the fourth day of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine amid clashes between Russian and Ukrainian troops in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that Ukraine has submitted its application against Russia to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). He said Russia must be held accountable for manipulating the notion of genocide to justify aggression.
He further requested an immediate decision that expects Russia to cease military activity for now and begin testing next week.

Ukraine ready for talks with Russia on Belarus border
Ukraine has agreed to hold talks with Russia on its border with Belarus, near the Chernobyl exclusion zone, following a phone call between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko.
It comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to hold talks with Russia, but only in a country “from where the missiles are not flying.”
Ukraine has instead proposed meeting in Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul or Baku. Zelensky said in a video address, “We want to talk, we want to end the war.” He had rejected the idea of meeting in Belarus, as the nation joined Russia in invading Ukraine.
Belarus is being used by Russia as a launch pad to attack Ukraine from the north. A referendum to be held today is set to allow Russia to place nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus.
According to Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian President, “the Russian delegation arrived in Belarus for talks with Ukraine.”
According to the Kiev Independent, the Russian president has reportedly ordered Russian nuclear deterrent forces to be on alert.
