On March 5, a shocking news came from the International Criminal Court: two high-ranking Russian military commanders, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylash and Admiral Viktor Sokolov, were issued arrest warrants! They are accused of committing war crimes in the conflict in Ukraine, including direct attacks on civilian targets, causing excessive collateral damage to civilians, and crimes.
What kind of drama is this? Will this action of the International Criminal Court be effective in Russia? What's the secret? Come and uncover the "mystery" of this international criminal tribunal!
It is reported that the two senior officers served as commanders of Russia's long-range aviation and the Black Sea Fleet, respectively, and their alleged crimes occurred during missile strikes on Ukraine's power infrastructure. Such accusations make people lament the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.
What is even more striking is that this is not the first time that the ICC has taken action against Russia. Last spring, they even issued an arrest warrant for Russia's Vladimir Putin, accusing him of "illegally deporting" Ukrainian children to Russia. All this makes people have to marvel at the strength and courage of the International Criminal Court.
However, there are different voices on the part of Moscow about this. They denied the ICC's allegations, saying the children were simply evacuated from the war zone and could be returned to Ukraine at the request of their legal guardians. Does this mean that the ICC's actions are likely to be more questioned? Or is there a more complex political calculation behind it?
While we are looking forward to more truths, the Russian side is not compromising on the authority of the ICC. They insisted that the ICC had no legal effect in Russia and accused it of favoring Western countries. Is such an accusation true or false? What kind of exchange of interests is hidden behind it?
As the investigation deepens, the "wrestling" involving Russia, Ukraine and the International Criminal Court is bound to become more and more compelling. Let's wait and see and witness the truth of history together!
