Ukraine in the United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague (the Netherlands) will show Russia violated international conventions, specifically the convention on preventing financing terrorism and the convention forbidding racial discrimination, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.

"This week we heard arguments in the ICJ and will show Russia fundamentally violated international legal conventions, which establish international rules," Klimkin said at a joint press conference together with the Foreign Minister of France Jean-Marc Ayrault on Thursday in Paris.

The minister emphasized the absurdity of evidence and arguments made by the Russian side represented in the court.

"When Russian representatives in the Hague officials speak about hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, innumerable artillery pieces, rocket launchers and other armaments, which were found in coalmine shafts the entire world laughs. But this is bitter laughter. We understand what we're up against and that's why we must stick with the Minsk agreements and return peace to Donbas," Klimkin said.

He added that it is very important that the world community not recognize Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea.

"There can be no compromises about the annexation. It will never be recognized [as Russian] territory by our partners or friends. This is the position of all civilized states and all who are familiar with international rules and values," Klimkin said.
