With 13-2 votes, Russia has been asked to end its military operations in Ukraine which it started in February 24.

The Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy re-announced the verdict and asked Russia to follow the order or will face more isolation in future.

He said, "Ukraine gained a complete victory in its case against Russia at the ICJ. The ICJ ordered to immediately stop the invasion. The order is binding under international law. Russia must comply immediately. Ignoring the order will isolate Russia even further."
