Big news from the #ICC👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Prosecutor reportedly seeks to open 2 war crimes cases, on child abductions (🇺🇦’s priority) & on the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure.
Will be interesting how close to Putin the ICC goes - & if Putin himself is targeted at this stage.

“The source said the arrest warrants could include the crime of genocide, and were expected to arrive in the “short term” if the court prosecutor’s request was approved by a pre-trial judge at the Hague-based court.” theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
A word of caution: the #ICC works fast & slow. It’s not the most predictable court. Warrants could be approved by judges next week or in six months. That this story is leaking now matters & may be pressure on judges to quickly give the ✅ for warrants. But let’s not jump the gun.
The leak that 2 cases may be forthcoming (leaks I should add are *rare* for the #ICC), may also be a way to signal to 🇷🇺 that the Prosecutor is acting and won’t back down. He meets & hugs Zelensky with PR videos made of his 🇺🇦 trips. But he doesn’t & can’t speak to the Kremlin.
