Kremlin dismisses top UN court’s order to halt invasion of Ukraine

MOSCOW — The Kremlin rejects an order by the UN’s top court for Russia to suspend the military offensive in Ukraine, a day after judges in The Hague announced their ruling.

“We cannot take this decision into account,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says.

He adds that both parties — Russia and Ukraine — had to agree for the ruling to be implemented.

“No consent can be obtained in this case,” Peskov says.
