Having regard to the Order dated 8 November 2019, whereby the

Whereas, by a letter dated 8 June 2020, the Agents of the Russian Federation

in the preparation of that pleading; and whereas, upon receipt of this letter,
the Registrar transmitted a copy thereof to the Agent of Ukraine, in
accordance with Article 44, paragraph 3, of the Rules of Court;
Whereas, by a letter dated 22 June 2020, the Agent of Ukraine indicated
that his Government opposed the grant of any extension of the
time-limit for the filing of the Counter-Memorial, explaining that the
coronavirus-related restrictions currently in place did not justify the
extension requested, and that an extension would be severely prejudicial
to Ukraine and would unduly delay the resolution of the case by the
Court;
Taking into account the views of the Parties,
Extends to 8 April 2021 the time-limit for the filing of the Counter-
Memorial of the Russian Federation; and
Reserves the subsequent procedure for further decision.
Done in English and in French, the English text being authoritative, at

Vu l’ordonnance du 8 novembre 2019, par laquelle la Cour a fixé au

Considérant que, par lettre du 8 juin 2020, les agents de la Fédération

retards connexes dans la préparation de cette pièce, et que, dès réception
de ladite lettre, le greffier en a transmis copie à l’agent de l’Ukraine,
conformément au paragraphe 3 de l’article 44 du Règlement ;
Considérant que, par lettre du 22 juin 2020, l’agent de l’Ukraine a indiqué
que son gouvernement s’opposait à toute prorogation du délai d’expiration
fixé pour le dépôt du contre-mémoire, au motif que les restrictions
liées au coronavirus actuellement mises en oeuvre ne justifiaient pas la
prorogation sollicitée et que pareille prorogation porterait gravement préjudice
à l’Ukraine et retarderait indûment le règlement de l’affaire par la
Cour ;
Compte tenu des vues des Parties,
Reporte au 8 avril 2021 la date d’expiration du délai pour le dépôt du
contre-mémoire de la Fédération de Russie ;
Réserve la suite de la procédure.
