THE HAGUE: Russia has snubbed a hearing at the United Nations‘ top court into a legal bid by Kyiv to halt Moscow’s devastating invasion of Ukraine.
A row of seats reserved for Russian lawyers at the International Court of Justice was empty on Monday morning as the hearing opened.
The court’s president, American judge Joan E Donoghue, said Russia’s ambassador to the Netherlands informed judges that “his government did not intend to participate in the oral proceedings.”
The hearing went ahead without the Russian delegation.
