Now, following the liberation of the southern city of Kherson, the Ukrainians say they have found four Russian torture chambers where abuses were perpetrated against the civilian population on a “horrific” scale. Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General said the Russians had “illegally detained people and brutally tortured them” using a variety of despicable methods, including “a device with which the occupiers tortured civilians with electricity.”
The abundance of evidence accumulated by Ukrainian and international investigators illustrates the industrial scale on which Russian President Vladimir Putin and his henchmen are today committing war crimes in the heart of Europe.....
To date, Putin has enjoyed impunity for the violence his forces have committed in war zones ranging from Chechnya to Syria, where a generation of Russian commanders honed their skills levelling the ancient city of Aleppo....
This assumes, though, that the UN is the only organization that can oversee such matters. This premise is soon to be challenged by investigators examining Syria’s recent civil war, where unspeakable horrors were committed by forces loyal to Bashar Assad, which UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called the “greatest crimes the world has witnessed this century.”
... moves are afoot to set up an independent body to examine the million or so documents collected by the Commission for International Justice and Accountability detailing the Assad regime’s war crimes....
The Dutch court that earlier this month convicted three Russian security officials of shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine in July 2014, killing all 298 on board, shows it is perfectly possible to bring war criminals to justice by other judicial means. Therefore, even without UN backing, there is no reason why Putin and his henchman should not ultimately stand trial for the appalling war crimes they have committed in Ukraine....

Only after Bush, Blare and Obama. They killed exponentially more people.
well if we’re lucky, someone inside Russia will notice how Putin is running their country into the ground, and just whack him for us
:)
Does this include Biden’s using Ukraine to launder money as war crimes? Asking for a friend.
no
war crimes mean torturing or killing people, usually on a large scale
So, funding the war in Ukraine for money laundering purposes by Dem's and Rep's isn't a war crime, even though tens of thousands of people (Ukranian civilians) have been killed on a large scale?
I'd have to respectfully disagree.
“Putin and his cronies can — and should — be held accountable for war crimes”
Considering the way the world is aligning AGAINST the West, and into non-Western entities, like BRICS and SCO, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Western leaders be held accountable, maybe 5 years from now.
They have been killed by the Russians. Geez! Never underestimate the ability of the Russian sycophants to transfer the responsibility for the war.
accountable for what?
And you think Biden and his money laundering cronies do?
Remember: so much of this was started by Biden's desire to cover up his and his crime family's corruption in Ukraine and for no other reason. He's a selfish, corrupt bastard.
BTW: I'm NOT at all justifying Russia invading a soverign nation. Putin's a bad guy and deserves to get assassinated which is really what'll end this thing. I'm surprised he's lived this long.
MY POINT is there's no 'good guys' in any of this whether Putin, Zelensky OR Biden!
again with this torture chamber nonsense?
Let’s cut to the chase ...”War crimes” is a policy-end that requires direct involvement (soldiers) from the West (really the U.S.) on the ground and in the air in Ukraine.
This “war crimes” crap will never happen with Putin/Russia even if the direct military involvement occurred. If he is as mad as the demonkkraps, he will not go quietly into the night with his nuclear weapons.
Da ve must extract vital info from Ukrainian grannies..
Trudeau doesn’t care about people. Neither does Biden.
“accountable for what?”
I guess you haven’t heard of the EXECUTION of Russian POWs, for starters. But that’s ok, they are ‘Ruzzians’ after all, right?
