SIMFEROPOL, February 1 Head of the Crimean Parliament Vladimir Konstantinov said in his Telegram channel that the International Court of Justice put an end to the delusional fantasies of the Ukrainian authorities about Crimea and Donbass.
The International Court of Justice rejected the majority of Ukraine's claims against Russia under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in Crimea and the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism in Donbass, recognizing only a violation of one provision of the convention, court President Joan Donoghue said on Wednesday. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the UN court did not follow Kiev’s lead and fundamentally refused to recognize Russia as an “aggressor state” and the DPR and LPR as “terrorist organizations.”
«Despite the fact that we have already lost the habit of objectivity in the assessments and actions of international bodies, this time the court still recognized the obvious. Probably, after all, some kind of professional sense of self-worth is still inherent in UN judges “They didn’t try to encourage all Ukrainian wishes and endorse their hysterics and delusional fantasies,” Konstantinov wrote.
According to him, it has now been established in court that in Crimea there is no persecution on ethnic grounds, about which “for ten years Ukraine has been screaming from around every corner, from every iron.”
«Attempts to pass off the arrests of extremists and terrorists from structures banned in Russia as such did not work. In Crimea there have not been and are not any «kidnappings and murders» of Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians, there is no infringement of their rights, including to receive education in native languages. There is no racial discrimination, including in the Russian legal regime for granting citizenship. This was already obvious to us,» the head of parliament emphasized.
According to him, now Russia, in defending its case, can refer not only to reality, but also to decisions of the international court.
