ha, theyre going to listen to a court now? or is this one of those things where theyll be ruled against, and then nothing will change as they ignore the ruling?
As a permanent member of the UN security council, Russia will veto any measure against Russia. Especially military intervention.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Russia on Monday called a Ukrainian case alleging that Moscow abused the Genocide Convention to justify its invasion last year an “abuse of process,” as lawyers for Moscow sought to have judges at the United Nation’s highest court throw it out.
As a series of lawyers laid out Moscow’s objections to the case, the leader of Russia’s legal team at the International Court of Justice, Gennady Kuzmin, told the 16-judge panel that Ukraine’s case that seeks to halt the invasion “is, hopelessly flawed and at odds with the longstanding jurisprudence of this court.”
Ukraine’s legal team will respond Tuesday and urge judges to press ahead to hearings on the substance of its claims.
In his opening speech, Kuzmin echoed Russian claims about what he called “neo-Nazis” in Kyiv and drew parallels between Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the 1999 NATO airstrikes on Serbia aimed at halting Belgrade’s military campaign in Kosovo.
The United States asked to make legal arguments on Ukraine’s behalf, but the U.N. court’s judges rejected the U.S. request on a technicality.
The ICC has issued a war crimes arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of responsibility for the abduction of Ukrainian children.
The original article contains 542 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

To be fair, they did learn the hard way that UNSC votes are actually kinda important.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
