the kremlin often accuses the west of waging war against russia on the territory of ukraine. this is basically part of the parallel reality created by moscow about what is happening there. but it is important to keep in mind that in reality it was president putin in february 2022 who ordered the full—scale invasion of ukraine. meanwhile, in a statement, russia's foreign ministry claimed that the "sabotage activities of the ukrainian armed forces" were gaining unprecedented momentum and it added that russia reserves the right to take retaliatory measures. thanks to steve for that. meanwhile, president volodymyr zelensky has called for a fully—fledged tribunal to hold russia accountable for its war of aggression against ukraine. he made the comments in a speech after visiting the international criminal court. it has symbolic importance, coming less than two months after the icc issued arrest warrants for vladimir putin on war crimes charges. here's what president

responsibility, which obliges him on knowing of war crimes — and he's seen them, as buildings are bombed by his own forces — to investigate and to prosecute, and, of course, he's been entirely insouciant about the crimes committed by his own forces, which he knows well about. so, for those reasons, and there are more indictments coming for killing civilians, children, in those bombings, in the destruction of the theatre in mariupol with 1,000 people... and so on and so forth. i don't need to detail his crimes. as i say, we have the specific charge sheet which karim khan has come out with so far, but let's broaden this discussion now. you are a great fan of the international criminal court. it's part of the machinery of internationaljustice, which you are a passionate advocate for. i believe in the court. i don't believe necessarily that it's covered itself with glory so far...

been charged with because he has command responsibility of the war... yes. of the war crimes. we should say that at this stage, karim khan, the chief prosecutor at the icc, has chosen to specify the crime, which concerns the transfer and deportation of thousands of children from ukrainian territory to russian territory. the kidnapping of children, which is a crime long damned by the geneva convention... but again, to be clear, and your legal experience really matters here, because you have a long association with war crimes investigations, putin cannot be tried in absentia by the icc, can he? no. he literally... he physically has to be in their hands... the united nations general assembly could set up a court to try him in absentia for the crime of aggression, but the icc itself has to confine itself to war crimes and can use the doctrine of command
