Topic: International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Russian President Putin (Read 418 times)

Very symbolic!
May 7, 1945 - strikes and the capture of the Reichstag - the center of Nazi Germany
May 03, 2023 - demo version, preparation for May 09, 2023, strike and destruction of the lair of rashism!

Where are the praised "analo-shitty" air defenses? Where is the second army of the world that NATO is afraid of? Russia today is a fake country under the control of an international terrorist!

February 2022 - Start of the Special Military Operation - "we will take all of Ukraine in a couple of weeks"
May 2023 - news - "Putin was not injured when Ukrainian drones hit the Kremlin"

Excellent! Yes, with all my heart! I'm just going to throw away the dollars... Although. Let's not focus on the narcotic delusion of propaganda, but on reality?

BRICS is a union of not very smart sheep countries, which smart China drove like a herd, shouting "no dollar!". At the same time, China "migrates" its inflation to the "guinea pig" countries, washing out dollars from its gold and currency reserves, and continuing to accumulate dollar mass in its gold and currency reserves.
Well, how else? Debts in China, both internal and external, are significantly higher than in the USA. But the USA easily prints dollars that will swallow up the WHOLE WORLD, and what can China do? Will they print yuan? It has already happened - inflation of tens of percent in a short period. The situation in the economy is rapidly deteriorating... The USA is exporting technologies and leaving access to new ones..."Chief! Chief!!! Everything is gone! Inflation is growing, technologies are leaving! Lelyk - what to do!?" (c) the film "Diamond Hand"!
But stop - you can find fools, tell them that the yuan is better than the dollar, take away the dollar from the fools, and make them totally dependent on the yuan! Exit found! And now this idea is being carried to the masses by heralds who have not yet understood what fate awaits them! This is real - 

^^^ The US dollar and the Euro money systems are both based on fiat money. Fiat is lies. There is no value backing it. There is only the good faith of the people.

What is happening right now to those fiat money systems? They are collapsing. When the collapse gets to the point that money doesn't work for the masses, the war mongers in the US and Nato will have more of a war on their hands from their own people than they could ever even imagine from Russia and Russian nukes.

If the US and Nato had anything as big and powerful as Russia, they would have gone in there and fought Russia out in the open instead of destroying Ukraine to do it underhandedly. And none of that includes the whopping China and India and Pakistani machines, that seem to be siding in money ways with Russia (BRICS), even though they dabble in US trade.


China is selling off treasuries as it prepares for a blockade of Taiwan and war with the United States

In fact, January was the sixth month in a row in which Chinese holdings of U.S. Treasuries fell…

China continued to cut its holdings of US Treasuries at the beginning of the year amid rising long-term interest rates, which slashed its returns on its overseas investments after the US Federal Reserve accelerated its lending cost increases last year.

As foreign holdings rose for a third straight month in January, China's holdings slid to US$859.4 billion in January from US$867.1 billion in December, declining for the sixth straight month and marking their lowest point since May 2009, according to data released by the US Department of the Treasury on Wednesday.

The good news is that the Chinese have been selling off their holdings at a measured pace.

If a blockade or an invasion was imminent, I would expect the Chinese to start selling off Treasuries much more rapidly.

We will keep watching to see if the pace changes.

Meanwhile, CBS News is reporting that China just completed "three days of military drills meant to simulate a blockade of Taiwan".

Who is clinging to him?
Do you think that the reason can be called Putin? He is just a projection of the mentality of his voters, nothing more. This people is used to the fact that there should be a "king", they are used to that there should be a "strong hand", that they are a "great people", but at the same time "they did not live well and there is nothing to start living well." This is a kind of sweep of the slave mentality and Nazism. What to talk about if Russian mothers say "I have 3 sons, I sent them all to the war [to kill Ukrainians, on the territory of Ukraine], and if they are killed, it's nothing big, I'll still give birth to myself!". And it's not fake! These are the people of Russia and not Putin, and not for the sake of their future, but for the sake of imperial phantom ambitions and painful complexes, they are ready to kill everyone around, send their children to death, destroy and bring grief to others.

In order to stop an international terrorist and break the backbone of the "second army of the world", and on the very "first terrorist army of the world" - just a small Ukraine, volunteer battalions and the Armed Forces of Ukraine were enough

This is a visualization of the scale of the confrontation. More precisely, the picture shows what Russia really is - a worthless dummy

This whole thing is so silly. The US and Nato using Ukraine can't stop Russia. Let the members of the International Court drive to Russia in their cars, and pull Putin out themselves if they want him so badly. Lol

This is very complex. I think, this case not every day that a head of state is accused of committing genocide. And the fact that Putin is now officially a suspect in an international crime is a major blow to his reputation and standing in the international community.

So, it also means that he could potentially face arrest and trial in any of the 123 states that have ratified the Rome Statute and recognize the jurisdiction of the court.

Of course, there are still many challenges ahead, especially given that some of the world's leading powers, such as China and India, do not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction. Maybe, there are likely to be diplomatic and political repercussions from this development as well.

There are rules, at least there are conventions, which, for example, Ukraine, being a country subjected to external aggression, humanely treats representatives of the army of Russian terrorists.

Is there a purpose for the war? Of course have.
For the aggressors, this is the destruction of the object of their aggression, the destruction of peoples, the destruction of everything that creates discomfort for their existence.
The side subjected to external aggression has to defend its right to life, preserve its country, protect its people from destruction or enslavement, preserve its culture, its traditions, its language ...

And explain this narrative "Russia is a great country"? Have you seen how a large half of the population of Russia lives, the country with the greatest resources and territory? Look for information, be surprised what "greatness in Russian" is

Everybody's picking on Putin. Give Zelensky a chance. He's only been in office since 2019. Lol.

Does war has rules?
What are the rules of war?
The aim of war is to defeat your enemy in whatever way you could.  If there are rules of law that Putin failed please point out for me to take note.
The heavy rule I know is the use of nuclear weapons. Has Russia used her nuclear weapons?

Meanwhile, I do not see the possibility of the president of a sovereign country as powerful as Russia being arrested while on power. I think this situation will develop to many undesirable circumstances if forced for enforcement.

No Kim. it takes more to have mind blown in todays world.

How about Kherson or Zaporizhzhia? Also a 'Russian' city? Putin included them in your 'Federation', ROFL.

Your whole 'Russian Moscovian Federation' is as made up as a Dagestani or Chechen 'Russian'.

Your 'federation' is quickly becoming just a landmass run by a gang of Gopniks.

PS. Soon you will be taking your Nazi tails and will be running back to Moscovia.

^^^ Everybody, especially every government leader, does wrong at times. The US, the Ukraine government, and Zelensky are doing far greater war crimes than Putin could ever think of doing.

Seems like Zelensky wants to bring back the days of Stalin, with himself in the driver's seat. Thank Goodness that Putin has been able to thwart this new Stalin somewhat.

Though Putin has committed war crime by going against the rules of war, but this arrest warrant is more of political, immediately as it was a news that the Chinese president Xi is visiting Russian to meet with Putin the arrest warrant was issued by ICC, and plus the fact that the US government doesn't want to see this two world super powers Russia-China ties, so it was a plot to see if they could have stopped Xi visit, As this will pose a huge thraight to the United States who wants to war with Russia and China seeing the two leaders meet.
Lastly Arrest warrant, It a strategy in order to weaken the strength of Vladmir Putin and Russia.

Video. Do it at night? So nobody can really see what things look like? Show pictures to Putin so that nobody sees what the pictures are? Hiding it from Putin, as well? A Putin look-alike? Drives his own car?

Mariupol is now Russian city. Full video of Putin's visit to Mariupol.

If anybody wants to serve papers on Putin, he needs to tiptoe very humbly into Russia and serve the papers. Otherwise the ICC is a big farce. And especially in any results that will come from the arrest warrant.

The US and Nato have been quietly trying for years to collapse Russia. So, they might as well make a stupid arrest warrant piece of paper... worth less than the ink and the piece of paper it's printed on. Lol.

Sorry, but you look really funny promoting this completely fake topic, the topic of the arrival of an international criminal in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol

Why fake? Well, what can be said about the documentary fact of the visit of an international criminal to a temporarily occupied Ukrainian city ".if:
- shooting was specially carried out at night, so as to minimize the quality of classic Russian streets that accidentally fell into the frame (then you can always scream and demand out of habit - but give us proof? prove otherwise)
- among the "hospitable population", half have already been identified and identified as employees of the FSO, who in the photo and video materials of 2010-2022 were already fishermen, and drivers, and anyone else. "Potemkin villages" - this is the "reality" of Russia
- not a single object that would uniquely identify the city of Mariupol! NO ONE ! I understand that it was not possible to draw the animation so quickly, well ... it happens
- Well, about Hymars So the Russian military command has already reported 10 times about the destruction of so many Hymars, which have not even been produced all the time! What threat are you talking about?

PS. Well, I can assume that your mentality keeps you in the tough mittens of an alternative reality, and you are even familiar with Mickey Mouse, and swam with Nemo on the Nautilus

I understand that it is difficult for you to accept that the cowardly "bunker grandfather" was at a distance of a shot from Himars, and Ukraine missed this favorable opportunity.

Typical "ward No. 6", I agree!
In this ward No. 6 called "Russia", there are also Napoleons, cosmonauts, conquerors of Nubir, brilliant inventors of everything around, and winners of the whole world
We are waiting for the creation of the Russian UN in the city of Ussuriysk, the Russian International Tribunal in Syzran, the International Monetary Fund of Russia with multicolored candy in the form of "the strongest currency in the world" and other nonsense of losers and world outcasts

It's like a law about "adoption of new territories into Russia" Well, they passed a law, it seems that now in Russia, the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are considered Russia! But after Ukraine liberated its territories, Russia quietly stuck their tongues in "one place" and pretended that nothing had happened! After all, they themselves understand that Russia, its laws, its orders are a fake or a clown

It's only fair to serve the warrant on the person identified in the warrant. Do you want to serve it on Putin? 

 

franjo construction of language I don't really understand what your comment really emphasizing on but at this point I want to let you know let you know that you have to give more hint of explanation to enable us to understand exactly what your point is all about

Meanwhile, the Russian Investigative Committee issued an arrest warrant for the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and for the judges who signed the warrant for Putin's arrest. Lol

 

This pathetic cowardly kidnapper of children, came to Ukrainian Mariupol? Yes, he was on Poklonnaya Hill, laying flowers, so before that, within a radius of 3 km, all sewer manholes were welded, people were forbidden to open and look out the windows, every 10 meters there was a FSO officer, carbines and even branded bayonet-knives were taken away from the guard of honor , and a group of "people" who created the appearance, were held back by two hundred guards in a dense ring. And this cowardly criminal, in your opinion, came to Ukrainian Mariupol?! )))

By the way, according to the first part - a video of the cleansing of the city, under the visit of an international criminal, a kidnapper, where he laid flowers - is available on the Internet.
According to the second part, a video recording is now being deleted from all sources, where allegedly Putin, allegedly in Mariupol, allegedly drives through the streets of the city, and in one house from a window, with a characteristic, central Russian accent, a woman shouts "this is all staged, don't believe it!", then the sound suddenly stops...

You already write in North Korean: the great leader of roshisi, who gave light to the solar system, yesterday visited the sun at the speed of light, opened a kiosk selling ice cream there, walked on the surface of the sun, to the applause of the inhabitants of the sun. After that, the great leader, the leader of all leaders, and the father of all fathers, dug the tunnel of the new metro station with his own hands: Sun-Moscow! Well, it will sound more realistic than nonsense about how this cowardly, unfortunate, vile body went to Ukrainian Mariupol, kidnapping children, having previously killed their parents

I refuse to take the International Criminal Court seriously ever since they let themselves and their justice be intimidated and impeded by threats from the US. And were the American war criminals prosecuted? No. They dropped everything because the US told them to drop it.

So why would anyone care if they issue an arrest warrant for the Russian president, Putin? Are you guys seriously expecting anything real to come from this?

To me it all looks like a publicity stunt and an empty threat.

The ICC is a joke.

The ICC is a political organization, controlled by whoever donates the most money to them. Of course, it's the individuals who get the money, more than the organization. They are another bribe acceptance company.


Remember in the gun control threads, where I say something like: "A 250-pound bully can easily rape, mug, and murder a 90-pound teenage girl. But if girly has a gun, she has a chance, even if the bully has a gun as well." The only thing that is keeping the world free is Russian nukes. Without Russia and her threat of nukes, the US bully would have taken over the whole world back in 1991, when Russia gave freedom to the peoples of the Soviet Union.

If the US took over the whole world, the results would be worse than if Russia or China took us all over. How do we know this? Because the corrupt US banking system (which seems to be failing currently because of its widespread corruption) would have all people directly under its thumb.

Puttin has visited mariupol in Ukraine for the first time last year to show some human behavior after the was called a criminal by the ICC. It was stated that he has renovated the place as it was the base of Ukraine troop before it was captured by Russian troops.

Puttin thinks he can try to fix things back to make people see that he is not what the ICC called him but the Ukrainians are not happy with his visit because that was a place where he commited genocide and he has also adopted Ukrainians children to Russia,which is a big crime.

Meanwhile, Putin visited the liberated Mariupol today on an unannounced visit (and yesterday he was in Sevastopol at the celebration of the 9th anniversary of the reunification of Crimea with Russia), watched how the city was being restored, and paid special attention to the Mariupol Philharmonic. The building has been completely restored and soon there will be a public trial of the Nazis of Azov, who were taken prisoner during the assault on Azov Steel in May last year.

You may not quite understand the "game" with Putin's well-deserved criminal status!
Of course, it would be nice to detain this bastard, and lead him in a cage through the ruined cities of Ukraine, through huge fields with graves, where hundreds of thousands of civilians are buried - women, children, old people, tortured and killed by his order. And then in The Hague to pronounce a verdict and hang indicatively. BUT... most likely it won't. But what is it for then?
This is, in fact, a go-ahead from the West to Putin's inner circle, which has not stained itself with crimes against Ukraine, which is ready to take power in Russia into its own hands, and be negotiable, to agree on many issues - from the liberation of the territory of Ukraine, to the borders of 1991 to payments reparations and demilitarization and denazification of Russia.
And for one thing, this is a hint "Putin's carcass in The Hague, dead or alive = your indulgence" And given the already very high degree of tension in Putin's immediate environment, such an outcome is very likely!


PS Although it seems to me that since Russia is so hysterical about "historical justice", then the borders of Ukraine should be returned to 1919. I strongly recommend studying the maps of the Ukrainian Independent Republic of 1919-1921!

Everyone is anticipating how the announcement will play out to prosecute Vladmir Putin in the coming months. I understand there are some things that are very wrong with war and the way the soldier treated Ukrainians. Nevertheless, this announcement has also been viewed through the lens of the political game america is playing with organizations, since America is also involved in war and has been identified as committing some crimes, yet leaders have threatened the ICC with repercussions if it goes ahead with an investigation, not even penalising the government. One of the saddest things about Russia's leadership is that their freedom rate for citizens is 13%, which is terribly low for a country in the first world.

I will say one thing - the opinion of Russia, a terrorist country, a liar country, a criminal country, a cowardly and vile killer country, no one cares! In Russia they can rage, squeal anything, but the punishment will overtake them. And Putin, and his jackals, and propagandists, and direct perpetrators of crimes ... The world has forgotten about the Nuremberg Tribunal, and this tribunal will become a "new volume" in world history, where international criminals will be punished for even more heinous crimes against humanity.

PS. Unfortunately, I have very little information now, but I do have a little: a structure has been created in Ukraine, a kind of Mossad, the purpose of which is to search for and punish Russian war criminals, whose guilt has been proven, but the criminals managed to escape. The search will be all over the world. It is not the state that finances, but quite a lot of people both from Ukraine and from other countries affected by Russian terror, and many other organizations and people who want to "drive an aspen stake into the coffin of rashism."

We will be able to see the full scale of the authority of the International Criminal Court already in August this year, it seems that Putin plans to personally attend the BRICS summit in South Africa, and South Africa has ratified its participation in the Rome Statute. And I'll tell you what will happen - nothing. Because the ICC is a cheap horror story for self-proclaimed black dictators from African banana republics. The US didn't give a damn about the authority of the ICC, there is even a law that prohibits the extradition of Americans at the request of the ICC (which was adopted after attempts to prosecute several US citizens for war crimes in Iraq). If the United States considers itself above the jurisdiction of the ICC, then this court is not so international. Well, Russia also holds a similar opinion on this matter, constitutionally affirming the priority of its own right over any international one.

I am not sure how this could possibly help the development of the war towards reaching peace.
We all know that Putin is not getting arrested in any shape or form, because two main reason: Putin would never leave Russia during these circumstances and even if dared to do so, arresting him would likely not solve much, it may even escalate de conflict to a next level.

If visited Venezuela, authorities here would not arrest him, because the position my country has as an ally of Moscow.

Sadly, I have a hunch this senseless war will go on for more years...

Russia and Putin are a little more down to earth than issuing silly arrest warrants for members of the ICC.

The current government of the RF is making itself a pariah - what would you expect to be if you invade your neighbour and to add, send there troops that are know to rape, steal and kidnap people and have done it before? You are seeking hate, and you get hate. The RF government were also expecting to terrorise others into submission, but that failed.

Regarding the ICC, I think they have to rule against Putin because there is so much evidence of war crimes that they do not really have an option not to do it. I do not think is a good idea because it does not get anyone any closer to peace. It is much more difficult to agree the terms of the RF withdrawal from all Ukrainian territories, the return of all the forced deportees and the payment of reparations if the government of Ukraine has to do so with a now convicted international criminal. Politically, much more difficult to be accepted.

I hope they do not decide to condemn Lavrov as well. You have to keep the phone line open, even if you are talking to criminals.

This is mission impossible for the ICC, since Russia president has not ratify the Rome statues and has also stated that they don't recognise ICC. Puttin will not travel anymore so that he doesn't get ambushed or set up by the ICC. Reports started that China president will be visiting Puttin in Russia and I believe this is how Puttin will be have dealings with the country that is not under the ICC. A president like Puttin can't be arrested by the ICC because they don't have the legal right to do that.

This present world governing and sanctioning arrangement is now obsolete, I believe it's time for the world's leaders to come up with a way to restructure duties and orders in order to reflect the present-day reality.

In this global age, I don't believe that the UN and ICC should still be like toothless dogs. What is helping the world to witness a somewhat balance is the western power ideology, but with a tyrannical country leader that Russia has, they shouldn't have veto power anymore, particularly with what they did to Ukraine.

Let's see how this plays out, the court verdict stands, but it could be arguably baseless because they don't have the power to enforce such. I doubt if any country could be helpful too.

And if you noticed, Putin has not been travelling often, that's the price he has to pay. If not, aside from the court ruling, he might be assassinated. He now has enemies everywhere, the war is not worth it.

By the way, this is only the beginning of a HUGE international process!
Kidnapping of people, and especially CHILDREN, is a crime that will not be limited to Putin alone. But Russia, in the person of Puitin and his entourage, put it on stream.
The world will be shocked when it finds out to whom, why and how, the Kremlin terrorists supplied children taken out of Ukraine, to whom they supplied organs, with the help of what international structures this was done, and continues to be done until now, who are the customers, who are the executors, what financial structures helped. ..
Follow the statements of the Red Cross, the UN, the Vatican, and other "international humanitarian organizations" who will now try to influence The Hague, try to cancel this decision or "make noise"!

There is no how that Putin would not have been expecting to be declared an international criminal, he started a war, What is the ICC ruling supposed to be if not against him. Now that his arrest has been called for and a warrant issued for it, It means that Putin will not be able to make any sort of trip to countries where the ICC has power and he will extra cautious now to ensure that a faction of the Russian people do not deliver him to the ICC to have a good face with them and ensure that the future Russian does not suffer for the actions of Putin.

Yes, Russia has not ratified the Rome Statute and will not do so under the Putin regime, and therefore does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Putin and his current entourage also do not recognize the established international norms of law, the rules and customs of the war that they unleashed in Ukraine, and generally spit on any public opinion, and also demonstrate that no rules of human behavior apply to them. But still, they will be prosecuted and will suffer a well-deserved punishment.

After the issuance of an ICC warrant for Putin's arrest, despite the fact that Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court, any state from 123 countries that acceded to its jurisdiction is obliged to arrest Putin and bring him to the prison of this court in The Hague if he is on their territories.

But this is only the beginning. Now Ukraine has initiated the creation of a separate international tribunal. It is created by general agreement. An agreement on the creation has already been written, there is a preliminary agreement of about eleven countries that they are ready to join, including very serious states. This special tribunal will begin to consider whether the highest political leadership is guilty of war crimes and aggression against Ukraine, and the recognition of its jurisdiction by Putin or other suspects, as well as by Russia as a whole, will not matter, just as the norms of human civilization do not matter now for these criminals.

If proven guilty, they will receive from 30 years in prison to life imprisonment simply for starting a war.

Case closed. Even United States and China don't also recognize the International Criminal Court which means that the citizens of these nations cannot be prosecuted by the ICC. The ICC is a toothless bulldog when it comes to persecuting past Presidents of developed nations, while they become a lion when it is dealing with developing nations especially in Africa. Majority of the past leaders tried by the ICC are African leaders.

Since the war began in Ukraine, Putin have restricted his travelling, visiting only friendly nations. I don't think any country apart from the US and NATO nations will be able to arrest Putin. There will be a massive protest if my country wants to arrest Putin because we know the consequences. I am not a supporter of the invasion of Ukraine because it was unnecessary. This war has led to the loss of precious lives and expensive properties but I also think that George Bush should first be sent to Hague before Putin.

Well, yes, another ridiculous attempt to make Russia a pariah country by outlawing its president. It is especially hypocritical that this legally insignificant PR action was carried out against the backdrop of the 20th anniversary of the illegal US invasion of Iraq. The International Criminal Court knows full well that it has no authority to try the (with diplomatic immunity) president of a country that has not ratified the Rome Statute. This is another empty informational occasion, not worth much attention, in a politically biased topic that has nothing to do with the economy.

Here the meaning is a little different. History knows only 3 precedents when the so-called. presidents (in reality, totalitarian ghouls) were given such a "black mark". Now putin is an international CRIMINAL. Moreover, the first article of the accusation, which means that it has an evidence base, is one of the most heinous crimes - the abduction of civilians during a terrorist war. I am sure that there will be an article for war crimes and much more that this scum really arranged both in Russia and in other countries.
Now a meeting with putin is an open position "I support murder, violence, terrorism, illegality, sadism"

It's funny how you see these news stories play out, about a week ago - for no apparent reason - Russia stated that they do not recognize the International Criminal Court. They clearly had someone on the inside feeding them this information, although I don't know how hidden this would necessarily have been. The ICC doesn't have all that much power to enforce this, although it is the right thing to do and are unlikely to get much assistance. It will be more of a voluntarily thing, if Russia eventually comes to it's senses and a new leader comes in who wants to cut ties with the past, they could hand him over. No other country is likely to arrest him because it could consistent an act of war - arresting the active leader of a country.

The ICC is a court based in The Hague that tries individuals for international crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. However, the ICC has no jurisdiction to try heads of state unless they are referred to court by the UN Security Council if I am not mistaken.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The message appeared on the official website of the court on March 17. In addition, a warrant was issued for the children's rights commissioner in Russia, Maria Lvova-Belova.

The ICC suspects both of committing war crimes - forced deportations and displacement of the population, in particular children, from the occupied territories of Ukraine. International law can regard this as genocide. The court's website states that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Putin is personally responsible for the alleged crimes. Now the Russian president has the official status of a suspect in an international crime - the illegal forced transfer of Ukrainian children.

This means that according to this warrant, the local authorities of the countries that have ratified the Rome Statute and recognize the jurisdiction of the court, in the event of Putin's visit to them, must arrest him. This number includes 123 states, including all the countries of Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all of South America (including Russia's ally Venezuela), as well as a large part of the countries of Africa and Asia, including Japan, South Korea and other leaders of the region . In addition, if necessary and if there is political will, the criminal Putin can be brought to trial and other countries that have not ratified the Rome Statute. The leading countries of the world that do not recognize the jurisdiction of the ISS include, first of all, China, India, Turkey, and Russia itself withdrew its signature in 2016.

The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine previously handed over to the ICC more than 40 volumes of materials – more than 1,000 pages. They recorded the deportation of more than 16 thousand children from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkov and Kherson regions. However, the real figure could be much higher. Ukraine has so far managed to return home 308 children.

Now world leaders will think thrice before shaking his hand or sitting down at the negotiating table with him. The world has received a signal that the Russian regime is criminal and its leadership and henchmen will be held accountable.

However, this is only one of the first proceedings of this international court. The day before, it was reported that the International Criminal Court is preparing to open two cases of Russian war crimes in Ukraine: in connection with the abduction of Ukrainian children and deliberate Russian attacks against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.
