Arrest warrant issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, with recent updates shedding light on the severity of the situation. The International Criminal Court has announced plans to put Russian President Vladimir Putin on trial for alleged war crimes, accusing him of responsibility for the war crime of illegally deporting children from Ukraine. A warrant has been issued for his arrest over the alleged involvement in child abductions from Ukraine. Ukraine has also accused Russia of committing war crimes against its civilians, with more than 850 attacks on health services reported since Russia’s invasion. The conflict has now entered its 387th day, with a mercenary company accused of using freed convicts in “human-wave attacks” during Russia’s invasion. The US has released footage of a Russian fighter jet dumping fuel on a US drone and accused Russia of hitting an American drone over the Black Sea. The US has also begun an aggressive new push to inflict pain on Russia’s economy and oligarchs in an attempt to thwart the invasion of Ukraine.
