The Hague-based court accused Russia’s most senior military officer, Gen. Valery V. Gerasimov, and a senior member of the country’s security council, Sergei K. Shoigu, of directing a campaign of strikes against Ukraine’s power plants in the winter of 2022.

“The expected incidental civilian harm and damage would have been clearly excessive to the anticipated military advantage,” the court said in a statement on Tuesday, referring to the strikes. It issued the warrants on Monday.

    Okay not saying they don’t deserve the warrants, but after this if they don’t issue one for Netanyahu nobody will take them seriously ever again.

        That wasn’t my intention. The ICC is actually called a colonialist tool and criticized for only going after nations opposed to Western interests. If they go after Russia but not Israel that pretty much confirms the accusations are true, is what I wanted to say.

            The request for arrest has been made. The arrest warrant has not been written yet.

        It’s analogous, and this is a comment section. Deal with it.
