The Kremlin has stated that they cannot take into account the requirement of the International Court of Justice for the Russian Federation to stop hostilities in Ukraine.

When asked by journalists about the decision of the UN court on the suit of Ukraine, press secretary of the head of state Dmytro Peskov replied: "No, we cannot take this decision into account. The International Court of Justice has such a thing as 'consent of the parties'. There can be no agreement here."

"In this case, this is something we cannot take into account," the Kremlin spokesman said.

The International Court of Justice demanded that Russia "immediately suspend hostilities in Ukraine."
