Ukraine and Russia are two Slavic friendly people, they can not fight each other. All claims are simply meaningless.

Friendly? They are in war!

Have you checked the latest events in the east Ukraine? There is a war going on there.

Long story short; EU is trying to bait Ukrainian people by giving them hopes to join EU one day. (which is most likely not going to happen btw) In return; they want Ukraine to cut off their relations with Russia.

Russia don't like that. Not just that, some Ukrainian people also sees how they are being cheated by EU, so they don't like that neither.

That's why the country is divided.

The guy here is attempting to say that the two countries are still going to be friendly based on the pure fact that the people within the countries are the Slavic "little brothers" of the Russians and even though a war was raged between the two nations it's going to be fine.

Personally, I don't think the Ukraine has many other countries that would support them if they were to be attacked by anyone else besides the Russians and they are like little brothers to the Russians along the lines of borrowing stuff from them.

In the International court of justice decision on the claim of Ukraine against Russia will apply to breaches of the two conventions, but will not affect the most important question of the armed aggression. Why not consider the ultimate question? In your opinion.

Good job. Youve opened can of worms.

To answer you question straight up, however. You could then take to court any major power in existence. Ie. any armed attack started by any country without UN approval. Which would mean that court would be too occupied by accusations from all over the world against United States and Britain to deal effectively with real politik of Russia.

So, no Russia is not going to get even more roasted, because it would undermine the international court.

Who needs these courts and other international institutions. Russia does not observe any decisions, and the world community is silent, because it does not want to quarrel with Russia. Therefore, all actions are nothing but ponty.

You are not right. International courts even necessary to counter Putin's propaganda. Indeed, many in the West believe it.

I would have to say he's right based on the fact that the Russians are never ones to care in the least about what all these decisions and courts say on the international level, it's never something they're going to end up following nor caring about.
