Hague: How many more deaths are needed for you to secure our sky, said Zelensky in a two day hearing a International Court of Justice (ICJ) HQ, the Peace Palace.
The hearing which was mulled by Russians, is going over the facts of the case and Ukraine’s application seeking immediate suspension of the military action being carried out by Russia. Speaking in the ICJ, the agent for Ukraine alleged that Russia falsified a claim of genocide in the Donbas region of Ukraine and then used that falsified claim to justify their military aggression all over Ukraine.
Zelensky further added that nearly 2 million people fled Ukraine fearing death due to the invasion. “Over 1 million people are internally displaced and almost 4 million people are expected to flee if the current crisis continues, said agent re-iterating the presidents perception.
