Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said that citizens in Russia s capital are rapidly getting used to a fully-fledged war as attacks on Russian soil mount.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) announced last Friday that it had issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova. According to a statement issued by the ICC, Putin and Lvova-Belova are alleged to have committed the war crimes of “unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation” beginning in at least February 24, 2022. USIP’s Lauren Baillie, Heather Ashby and Mary Glantz discuss the impacts of these warrants on Putin and on the war in Ukraine.
One year after the Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the so-called special military operation in Ukraine, the Eastern European nation is firmly backed by the entirety of Western civilization, and Russia is on its own.
