A Ukrainian sea drone reportedly sunk another Russian warship in the Black Sea, dealing a blow to Moscow’s naval capabilities in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The strike targeted the Sergei Kotov patrol ship near the Kerch Strait, resulting in casualties among the Russian crew. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for two high-ranking Russian military officers, Lt. Gen. Sergei Ivanovich Kobylash and Adm. Viktor Kinolayevich Sokolov, for their role in attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. The warrants mark a significant development in holding those responsible for war crimes in the conflict accountable. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin welcomed the warrants, emphasizing the importance of justice for victims of the war. The announcement serves as a warning to other Russian military leaders involved in attacking civilians and critical infrastructure in Ukraine. The court’s decision highlights the importance of adherence to international humanitarian law in times of conflict. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has entered its third year, with Ukrainian forces continuing to target Russian military assets, while the international community works to ensure accountability for war crimes.
