International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Top Russian Military Officials Over Alleged War Crimes in Ukraine

ai generated text

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for two high-ranking Russian officials: Sergei Shoigu, former Defense Minister, and General Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff. The warrants accuse them of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during the conflict in Ukraine. According to the ICC, Shoigu and Gerasimov are suspected of directing attacks on civilian objects, causing excessive incidental harm to civilians, and intentionally causing great suffering or serious injury. The court's judges approved the prosecutors' request for the warrants after finding evidence that the two men were responsible for these crimes.

    1. During this time-frame, a large number of strikes against numerous electric power plants and sub-stations were carried out by the Russian armed forces in multiple locations in Ukraine.
    2. For those installations that may have qualified as military objectives at the relevant time, the expected incidental civilian harm and damage would have been clearly excessive to the anticipated military advantage.

    1. This is an important decision. Everyone will be held accountable for evil.

    Ukraine Government
    1. This decision is a clear indication that justice for Russian crimes against Ukrainians is inevitable. It clearly demonstrates that no military rank or cabinet door can shield Russian criminals from accountability.
    2. Every criminal involved in the planning and execution of these strikes must know that justice will be served. And we do hope to see them behind bars.
