In The Hague, sided with Russia after the capture of Ukrainian warships in the Kerch Strait

The Hague Tribunal sided with Russia on the incident in the Kerch Strait.

Contrary to the arguments of the Ukrainian side that Russia committed serious violations during the capture of Ukrainian warships in the area of ​​the Kerch Strait, in fact, having committed an act of aggression, the Hague Tribunal did not satisfy the demands of Kiev, taking the side of Russia.

“The requirements of Ukraine regarding the rejection of the jurisdictional stage and the maximum reduction in the time of the proceedings were ignored. The Tribunal agreed with the arguments of Russia and provided for the possibility of dividing the process into two separate stages - the jurisdictional and the merits of the dispute ”, - representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation report.

In fact, the proceedings on this issue have not yet been completed, however, the fact that the Hague Tribunal accepted the arguments of Russia as fundamental indicates that the Hague did not see any serious violations in the actions of the Russian military, which, in fact, were detained by the Ukrainian military ships after violation of the territorial waters of the country.

It should be clarified that Kiev did not officially comment on the decision of the Hague Tribunal.
