In this week’s episode of, “Sorry you guys I know you hate me for doing this but SERIOUSLY HOW AM I THE ONLY ONE CONCERNED ABOUT US GIVING WEAPONS TO RIGHT-WING NATIONALISTS WHO END UP ON TRIAL AT THE HAGUE FOR GENOCIDE?!?!”
The top court of the United Nations ruled on Friday that it would take up the question of whether Ukraine committed genocide in its Donetsk and Luhansk regions, an accusation at the heart of Russia’s argument for its 2022 full-scale invasion.
The ruling came in a case brought by Ukraine to the International Court of Justice. The court said that Ukraine’s claim that there was no credible evidence that Kyiv was “responsible for committing genocide” in its Donetsk and Luhansk regions was admissible and that it would examine that claim on its merits.
The case, which will likely take many months to complete, will give a legal answer to one of the central allegations made by Russia against Ukraine — that Kyiv has been committing genocide against Russian speakers in the country’s east.

But this is a great example of what you are doing, over and over, that people hate.
It is clear from just the portion of the article you quoted that what is happening here is that Ukraine ASKED the UN court to consider whether Putin’s justification for his war on Ukraine has any basis in fact.
You will be familiar with Putin’s pretext here, because it is right there in his war-opening speech that you have cribbed from. But here is some additional information in the article you posted:
In other words, you are SO freaking eager to adopt Putin’s talking points that you see (and bring us!), as evidence of Ukraine’s apparent arson, a proceeding brought by Ukraine to establish that Russia manufactured smoke.In his February 2022 speech that announced the invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir V. Putin said that the purpose of the “special military operation,” as Russia has called the war, was to “protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kyiv regime.”
Ukraine denounced Russia’s genocide allegations at the time, calling them “manipulative.” Shortly after the invasion Ukraine’s foreign affairs ministry said they served as an excuse for Russia’s “unlawful aggression.”
Two days after the Russian attack, Ukraine brought its case to the court, which is based in The Hague, in the Netherlands, arguing that the genocide allegation was false and therefore Russia’s use of force against it was a violation of the Genocide Convention.
[…]
[Should] the court rule in Ukraine’s favor, that would dismiss Russia’s claim that Kyiv had committed genocide against Russian speakers in the country’s east, which has been at the heart of Moscow’s argument for invasion and overall hostility toward the Ukrainian government.
LOL
