600 pages of lies. Russia has presented the arguments in his defense at the International court in the Hague
March 7 at the International court in the Hague held hearings of the Russian side in the “Ukraine against Russia”. The Russians have registered 600 pages of evidence on which they relied in his speech, although the vast majority of the supplied arguments are outright lies. Reports about it “European truth”.
In its lawsuit against Russia, Ukraine requests the court of justice to bring Russia accountable for the violation of the Convention for the suppression of the financing of terrorism in the East of Ukraine and the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination in anacoana Crimea, where the persecution of Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar communities.
As previously reported, the most scandalous statements of the Russian side has information that the militants had found weapons in the mines, and supply anti-aircraft missile complex “Buk” does not violate the international Convention.

It is also worth noting that the Russian Federation osnovnomu focused on events in the Donbas and reduced to minimum protection on the Crimean issue.
FAKE No. 1. “OUR CRIMEA”
According to the publication, the Russian representative Roman Kolodkin has accused Ukraine of the fact that she took control of the Crimea without the knowledge of the population and said that Crimeans were not able to choose for themselves whether they want to live in an independent Ukraine. Although the documents, in 1991, during the referendum in Crimea, the majority of the population expressed a desire to live in independent Ukraine.
FAKE No. 2. VISUAL EVIDENCE OF THE “UKRAINIAN CRIMES”
The defense of Russian have provided a link to the mounted for the Russian television speech Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Odessa in 2014. The Russians decided to prove to the international court of justice, clinic the Ukrainian state promised to make terror in the Donbas and thereby win the war.
“Our children will go to schools and kindergartens, and they will sit in basements. That’s how we win the war” – quoted Poroshenko, the Russian foreign Ministry.

As noted in the publication, the defense couldn’t even find the original set, since this is mounted it has long “walks” on the Internet, as an example of fakes in Russian media.
in turn, the full text of the Speech Poroshenko shows that he was not talking about threats to the inhabitants of the occupied territories, and that militants in the Donbas has now forced people to live in inhuman conditions.
Another proof of the “Ukrainian crimes” the Russians have provided a photo of the school where people were hiding.
Indeed, in 2014, the school on the outskirts of Gorlovka, which was in the midst of battle events, served as a refuge for local residents. However, children at that time in the city was gone. Though according to the Russians, the Ukrainians were forced to sit in their basements.
FAKE number 3. THE USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Another fake argument by the defense became Russian accusations of Ukraine of using chemical weapons, namely phosphorous bombs. Moreover, the Russians have indicated the exact time and place 12 June in Semenovka, near Slavyansk.

Indeed, the Russian media in 2014 was reported use by Ukrainians of phosphorous bombs, but then it was found that this information is not true. The fact that no evidence of use of chemical weapons, such as burns from local people or characteristic of scorched earth, was not detected. Instead, it was made public the intercepted conversation of Pro-Russian fighter Andrei Purgina with an unknown interlocutor of Russia in which he testified that no evidence of use of chemical weapons there.
FAKE No. 4. ATTACKS
A separate theme is the false statement about the attacks. The Russian side provided information on the tragedy of January 22, 2015 in Donetsk, when mortar fire on the spot were killed, according to various estimates, from 8 to 13 civilians.
However, this attack is a clear example of the terrorist activities of the Russian-controlled militants. Because the distance from the blast site to the nearest forces of the APU is roughly 20 km, which exceeds the maximum range of a mortar firing twice. Besides, on the given fact criminal case under article “terrorist act.”

Another example is the shelling of Donetsk on 5 November 2014, when the two children died from falling of a shell on a school stadium. Here the situation is more ambiguous, because the OSCE mission in its report said that the projectile came from the North-Sahu, i.e. the territory controlled by Ukraine.
It is noted, in most other episodes there is no clear evidence in favor of one party.
FAKE No. 5. APU OPENED FIRE FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Note that numerous videos, which the militants are firing from residential areas in an attempt to cause a fire in response, the Russian side no specifics were not provided. Adding to his defence as argument two photos of tanks that just move on the plant and not open fire. In addition, one of the tank cars of the OSCE. How photos can confirm that APU fired from residential areas is unknown.

FAKE number 6. IN UKRAINE IS “CIVIL WAR”
Basically, the International court of justice, Russia is trying to prove that Ukraine was a “coup” and “civil war”. Thus, the defense of the Russian arguments is photos relating to the events on the Maidan in winter 2014.
in Particular, presents the image of “Molotov cocktails”, the Berkut officer, who provides assistance to a wounded protester (!) and the inscription “death to the enemies!”.
We will remind, earlier the first Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada and the representative of Ukraine in the humanitarian sub-group of the Trilateral contact group Irina Gerashchenko called the Russian delegation in the International court of justice liars. Thus she commented on the statement by Russian defense that the militants had ” found a weapon in the mines, including the Russian “Buk”, which was shot down Malaysian Boeing.
