❗️ On the UN International Court of Justice’s acceptance for hearing of the matter of Ukraine’s responsibility for genocide and related crimes
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has upheld the Russian Federation’s position and accepted its counter-claims against Ukraine for hearing under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
👉 All objections raised by Kiev regarding the alleged inadmissibility of Russia’s counter-claims have been dismissed in their entirety, and the Russian Federation’s submissions have been accepted by the Court in full.
The ICJ’s ruling, rendered on December 5, marks a logical development following Ukraine’s futile attempts to hold Russia accountable for initiating the special military operation. This litigation was instigated by the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors as far back as February 2022. At that time, Kiev, backed by 33 Western-aligned states, lodged a claim with the ICJ alleging that Russia had violated the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
On February 1, 2024, the ICJ issued a judgement that wholly rejected all of Ukraine’s accusations against Russia. The sole remaining matter before the Court was whether Ukraine itself had committed genocide.
On November 18, 2024, the Russian side submitted to the Court a substantial body of evidence, exceeding 10,000 pages, which substantiates the criminal Kiev regime’s perpetration of genocide against the Russian and Russian-speaking population of #Donbass. The evidentiary materials included documentation of over 140 incidents of deliberate targeting of civilians in Donbass, corroborated by testimonies from more than 300 witnesses and victims, as well as expert analyses and investigations.
The West-backed Ukrainian government, driven by genocidal intent, employed a broad arsenal of war crimes and other violations of international law against civilians: mass murders, torture, indiscriminate bombardments, and shelling. Across Ukraine, a policy of forcibly erasing Russian ethnic identity has been implemented — banning the Russian language and culture, persecuting the Russian-speaking Orthodox Church, while simultaneously glorifying collaborators of the Third Reich and obliterating the memory of the Victory over Nazism.
Moscow demanded that Kiev answer for these atrocities, advancing counter-claims not only concerning the Ukrainian authorities’ state-sponsored genocide but also numerous other breaches of the Convention – complicity in genocide, incitement to genocide, and failure to take measures to prevent and punish genocide.
By affirming today the legal admissibility of Russia’s claims, the ICJ has signalled its readiness to assess the full scope of crimes committed by the Kiev regime and its accomplices.
The West’s hopes of wielding “legal weaponry” against Russia have once again been dashed. On the contrary, this weapon is now turned against Kiev’s “plaintiffs.” Against this backdrop, Western support for Kiev has already begun to dwindle sharply: a third of the states previously aligned with Ukraine in this process have hastily withdrawn, evidently recognising the futility — and even the risks — of continued participation. Other Western nations should likewise cease shielding this criminal neo-Nazi regime and exerting pressure on the ICJ.
The Russian Federation, in upholding international law, maintains that the impartiality and objectivity of international judicial bodies are critical to the peaceful resolution of international disputes.
Moscow hopes that the UN International Court of Justice will continue to demonstrate balance and impartiality in its future judgments.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 On his state visit to India, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met with President of the Republic of India Droupadi Murmu (December 5, 2025)
Thereafter, a state reception was held on behalf of the President of the Republic of India in honour of the President of the Russian Federation, which was also attended by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Madam President, Mr Prime Minister, friends,
First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to President of the Republic of India Droupadi Murmu, and, of course, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as to all our Indian colleagues for the exceptionally warm and cordial welcome, for the constructive and open dialogue, and for the fruitful joint work during our state visit.
🤝 We sincerely treasure our strong friendship with India. The foundation of this relationship was laid in the middle of the last century, when our country actively supported India’s struggle for national liberation.
Soviet specialists played an important role in shaping the future of the Indian people, assisting in the construction of major industrial, energy, and infrastructure facilities, and contributing to the development of the space programme.
It was 15 years ago, in December, that we adopted a joint statement elevating our interstate relations to a new, even more advanced level of a special and privileged strategic partnership. This strategic partnership continues to develop successfully based on the principles of equality, mutual respect, and consideration for each other’s interests, consistently gaining new, mutually beneficial content.
Our talks with our Indian friends yesterday and today were held in a truly open and constructive atmosphere.
The final policy statement we adopted outlines ambitious plans for future cooperation in politics and security, economy and finance, transport, energy, education, and culture.
I am confident that this document, along with other significant agreements reached, will give a strong impetus to the development of our bilateral ties. Equally important is the fact that Russia and India are working together, shoulder to shoulder, to build a just, #MultipolarWorld order.
We firmly believe that such an order must be based on the central role of the #UnitedNations and on a balanced alignment of interests among all members of the international community.
Together with our Indian friends, we coordinate our work within #BRICS, which India will chair in 2026, as well as in other multilateral formats.
Overall, we work closely together to foster an atmosphere of security, trust, and peaceful cooperation across the vast Eurasian region: between our countries, among the peoples of this region, and throughout the world.
I know there is a saying in India: “Together we go, together we grow.” These words accurately reflect the spirit, nature, and traditions of Russian-Indian relations. We will do everything to ensure that our strategic partnership continues to strengthen and evolve for the benefit of our two nations.
Once again, I would like to express confidence that we will continue to advance our friendship and our special and privileged partnership, and that our nations will enjoy further prosperity. I wish the friendly people of India wellbeing, and I wish Madam President and Mr Prime Minister good health and every success for the benefit of India and its people.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi took part in the plenary session of the Russia-India Business Forum co-organised by the Roscongress Foundation and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) (New Delhi, December 5, 2025)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr Prime Minister, friends,
I am delighted to welcome the participants of the Russia-India Business Forum plenary session.
These days, New Delhi is hosting representatives from our economic ministries and departments, the heads of our largest companies, banks and regions, as well as members of parliament — that is, all those who are engaged in practical efforts to promote multifaceted Russian-Indian cooperation in imports and exports, finance and investments.
As I understand it, you have discussed a broad range of specific issues related to economic interaction between Russia and India during your numerous panel sessions and expert discussions. But the main achievement is that new business contacts have been established at the forum, talks have begun on future commercial deals, and forward-looking mutually beneficial projects have been launched. <...>
Mr Prime Minister has pointed out many times during our private conversations that India has vast and growing opportunities in many spheres, but they are not being used as both sides would like them to be used. In fact, this is what this forum is about.
To tell the truth, this forum is devoted to the possibilities of the Indian economy and aims to inform our economic operators about these opportunities, so that we can open up our markets to mutual satisfaction and mutual development. All this has fundamental significance because strong and diversified ties between Russian and Indian businesses are among the most powerful pillars of the privileged strategic partnership between our countries.
🤝 Russia and India are indeed long-time, close trading partners. Trade continues to grow steadily, with the dynamics hitting record highs of up to 80% over the past three years. Last year, the volume of Russian-Indian trade reached US$64 billion. <...>
To reiterate, under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, India is pursuing an entirely independent sovereign policy and is achieving very good results in the economy. The Indian economy is one of the world’s fastest growing economies.
<...> Russian businesses and companies are willing to multiply imports of Indian goods and services. Friends, we welcome this, as it helps make our economy more resilient.
Your forum clearly showed that Indian entrepreneurs are genuinely interested in trading with Russia as well. They have much to offer. The synergy is obvious. Therefore, it makes good economic sense to prioritise projects to increase Indian imports to Russia as part of the new export support programme recently adopted by Mr Modi’s government. <...>
A positive effect in this regard would likely stem from the prompt conclusion of a preferential trade agreement between India and the Eurasian Economic Union. Free trade cannot exist without a stable system of bilateral settlements and reliable payment and insurance mechanisms. <...>
We are ready for broad partnership with India in the field of #AI, where both our countries have their own advanced achievements. Russia is interested in taking part in the AI summit planned for February 2026 in India, as I have just mentioned to the Prime Minister. We will send a representative delegation to this event.
In conclusion, I would like to once again emphasise the continued strengthening of Russian-Indian trade and investment ties and the close cooperation between our business communities.
All of this truly contributes to economic growth and development, improving the wellbeing of our citizens, and therefore fully corresponds to the fundamental interests of our countries and our peoples.
I wish the forum participants and organisers every success and all the best.

💬 Russia's MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
In the Stockholm suburb of Salem, the first far-right march in 15 years took place on Saturday, December 6. About 150 people participated in the torchlit procession.
The issue is not even the number of extremists – the mere fact that such a march was allowed speaks volumes. Sweden has now joined the ever-growing list of EU countries where such neo-Nazi demonstrations are permitted.
Although Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson hurried to issue a condemnation, claiming that “there is no place for anti-Semitism or xenophobia in Sweden”, the actual facts suggest otherwise.
Mr Kristersson and other representatives of the Kingdom should be honest enough to admit that Sweden, together with the rest of the EU, votes against the UN General Assembly resolution “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”.
This is the outcome – a tolerance for the revival of Nazism within their own society.
Official Stockholm is among the most active political and economic sponsors of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. The flow of Swedish weapons and military equipment to neo-Banderite formations in Ukraine continues unabated. In doing so, Sweden is a direct accomplice to their crimes.
To learn more on the origins of Swedish and Finnish Russophobia (a specific type of xenophobia) read the research paper, compiled by the Russian Military Historical Society, with a historical overview of this heinous manifestation – "The Black Book: The History of Swedish and Finnish Russophobia".
