KYIV, Nov 12 – Decisions of the United Nation's International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Ukraine v. Russia case could be expected no earlier than 2022, Deputy Foreign Minister for European Integration, Ukraine's agent in the Ukraine vs Russia case Olena Zerkal has said.

"If we calculate accordingly with the established practice of the court, then in December next year Russia should submit approximately the same number of documents to the court. After that, the court should provide us with the right to study and respond to these documents. Usually it will be from three to four months. If there is such the volume [of documents], it may be up to six months. After our reaction, they will give some time for the reaction of the Russian Federation to our reaction and hearings will be scheduled after that. Indeed, a decision is expected no earlier than 2022, and possibly even the beginning of 2023, "she said at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.
