Russia rejects ICC arrest warrants for top commanders accused of war crimes in Ukraine.
The International Criminal Court issued warrants for Sergei Kobylash and Viktor Sokolov, alleging their involvement in missile strikes on Ukrainian electric infrastructure.
Russia, not a signatory to the ICC’s treaty, refuses to recognize the warrants. Kobylash, a former Russian air force commander, and Sokolov, a former admiral, have not publicly responded to the allegations.
Despite evidence suggesting otherwise, Moscow denies targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomes the ICC’s action, emphasizing accountability for those who commit crimes against civilians.
This underscores the ongoing conflict’s legal complexities and international efforts to ensure justice.
