The International Criminal Court has started investigating Russia over potential war crimes the country may have committed during its invasion of Ukraine, after a Ukrainian official claimed that Russia used an illegal weapon during the war, officials said.
On Monday, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, told reporters at the U.S. Capitol that during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the former country used a vacuum bomb, in violation of international law, Reuters reported.
"They used the vacuum bomb today," Markarova said outside a closed congressional hearing where committee members received an intelligence briefing on the war. "The devastation that Russia is trying to inflict on Ukraine is large."
That same day, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who was already investigating ahead of the invasion, said he was opening an investigation "as rapidly as possible" into any other potential violations, ABC News reported.

Oksana Markarova, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., says that Russia used a thermobaric weapon during its bombardment on Monday. "They used the vacuum bomb today, which is actually prohibited by Geneva Conventions," Markarova said after a meeting with lawmakers in Washington. A Western official said on Monday that TOS-1A thermobaric rocket units had been identified, but not yet used. A dash cam video clip from a car fleeing the the eastern city of Mariupol purported to show a TOS-1A launcher at the side of the road.
The Russian military is more of a terror unit than military.
Geneva Convention? I don’t think so. We used a couple during Desert Storm to detonate land mines Saddam had sown in the desert.
Yeah?
And the Biden US military who murdered 7 children in in a white Toyota in Afghanistan and lied that they were “ISIS K” operatives?
Seems we used them at Tora Bora too
Shit happens but it was error.
Russians do it purposefully. Big difference.
We won’t allow facts here.
Ukraine is puppies, Russia is Devil.
“Potential war crime” because they used a vacuum bomb huh?
The sheer propaganda is getting more ridiculous by the minute.
How much do they pay you?
Homosexual deviant question.
NeoCon…check.
“Errors” happen in every war. You call it “errors” when Biden's American military commit grevious war crimes, (which this blatant murder of 7 children in Afghanistan was), but then you call it “war crimes” if the Russians did the exact same thing (which the Russians haven't)?
Russians do it purposefully. Big difference.
Now just how do you propose to prove that?
Do you want a list of war crimes committed by US troops in wars going back?
You should know about that on Biden, since you permanently assumed the fetal position for the crazy Dementia Joe.
An ‘illegal bomb’. Can I roll my eyes even harder?
It’s the same 4 c**** 24/7.
Paid NeoCon tras.
And “potential war crime” as well?
What the heck is a “potential war crime”?
Trash
You are the usurper slurper...keep licking those Putin jackboots.
I would say creating a slavery market in Libya.
