Zelenskyy Takes Action Against Putin's War Crimes in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will face an international war crimes court when Ukraine wins the ongoing war. Zelenskyy made the statement during a speech in The Hague, where the International Criminal Court is located. The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, but it cannot prosecute the crime of war aggression itself. Zelenskyy called for a special tribunal for aggression. The chances of Putin standing trial in The Hague are remote, as the court does not have a police force to execute its warrants, and Putin is unlikely to travel to any of the ICC’s 123 member states that are under an obligation to arrest him if they can.
