Summary created with AI assistance · Source: cnn.com
- The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- The arrest warrants put Shoigu and Gerasimov on the ICC’s wanted list, although it is uncertain whether they will ever stand trial. The two warrants bring the total number of top Russian officials wanted for war crimes to four as the ICC has previously issued arrest warrants for President Vladimir Putin and Russian official Maria Lvova-Belova for an alleged scheme to deport Ukrainian children to Russia.
- Shoigu, a long-time close ally of Putin, was the country’s defense minister for 12 years and was fired by Putin last month. Meanwhile, Gerasimov has been leading Russia’s armed forces for over a decade. The alleged crimes relate to a large number of strikes against numerous electric power plants in Ukraine between October 2022 and at least March 2023 carried out by Russia.
- The judges concluded that Shoigu and Gerasimov ordered strikes against civilian objects, constituting a war crime under international humanitarian laws. It was clear that the expected harm to civilians from hitting those targets would be excessive compared to the military advantage.
