It can take years from the time a person is indicted in the International Criminal Court in the Hague. to an actual trial / conviction under the various conventions, including the Geneva Conventions. Google the List of Indicees / Convicted War Criminals for the figures and details. Once an indictment is lodged with the Court, it stays lodged. It does not go away. And anyone whose name appears on the list, can be arrested any time the opportunity presents itself. You can be damn sure, that there's many people out there, who have to be very careful when and where they travel to.
If they knew about the war what would be the outcome then and WHAT is the margin of error
Looks like progress on the rouble situation. Where there is a will there is a way
Now - Germany sends Euro's to Gazprombank which is not under any sanctions
Then - Gazprombank convert Euro's to Roubles and send to the Russian central bank
Nice and clean and circumvents the sanctions easily.
Once they don't reprogram the Cheget with open source control software.

What a bizarre article. Using tree branches for camo is as old as time itself. Nothing better for blending into nature than natural materials. Perfectly sensible thing to do.

You don't see the difference, how Russians did it?
The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, during his visit to Spain, announced that the conclusion of the agreement between Russia and Ukraine would not automatically lead to the lifting of the sanctions. "A peace agreement under threat of arms is not a way to get back to normal," said Rutte, quoted by nos.nl. Earlier, the United Kingdom presented a similar position.
The details are behind a paywall. I can only see one photo showing the back of trucks.
"there's many people out there, who have to be very careful when and where they travel to"
And this is the problem, the likelihood of actually getting Putin to the ICC is likely close to 0 as I can see any foreign travel by him to a country where he can be lawfully detained severely restricted in the future.
Even if his own people turned on him and gave him the boot he can't be lawfully detained in Russia (or even the Ukraine for example) for an eventual trial at the ICC, the ICC also can't conduct any trial in absentia of the accused.
Hello World!
Neither Syria or Russia (or even Ukraine) are parties to the Rome Convention meaning the ICC can't try any war crimes committed unless the matter is referred to an ICC prosecutor by a UN member state - which in the case of Ukraine has happened, as much as the ICC may want to try war crimes in Syria it can't unless the above happened.
And also reduce your thermal signature,like SAABs barracuda,when you have drones and thermal on everything these days on the modern battlefield
Heard a guy on the radio saying that Germany could be rationing gas supply to industry within two weeks. If there is a peace agreement some of the sanctions will start to be lifted pretty quickly.
In general, people don't want to see anyone bombed, Ukrainians or Russians. You seem to want this conflict to escalate as much as possible - maybe that's not the case, but I'd imagine most people would want Russia to stop their attacks.
Kazakhstan boxer supports Ukraine.
Speech in English
If there is a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia, do the international community have to lift the sanctions on Russia? Surely Putin wins if sanctions are lifted and Russia keep a lot of the territory seized from Ukraine.
In my view, any sanctions on Russia should be kept in place ( and expanded) until Ukraine is rebuilt and massive reparations paid by Russia
Keep it coming:-
How many times have we heard Belarus is about to join in? The question we all ask is will they thought?
I think the tellitubbies or the sound s of baby's cooing and laughing would be a better way to mess with their heads.

I agree with you, Putin should swing for this and Russia should be set on a road towards military obsolescence
How many lives have been thrown off course, or snuffed out, simply because he exists?
The European "Clean Slate" of decades, is now marked by new generations who will hear first hand horror stories about this conflict
Sneaky fùcking Russian
You'd want to see the local FCA lads. They camouflaged all their vehicles and equipment using branches. See how long it takes you to spot them in the photo below.
There was no truth to the rumour that they swapped all the equipment for cans of cider. It was just too well hidden for their superiors to find.
To those advocating killing civilian men, women and children. Have you considered...
Putin wouldn't give fúck one.
Have you heard of the Blitz spirit? It would be like all of Putin's birthdays coming at once.
Pray tell, now that you've sent a 100 rockets into Russian residential areas, and you sit back into your couch with your hand scratching your groin, what do you think you've achieved?
One other question. You can press a button on your couch that will kill 150 men, 300 women and 550 children, ALL Russians. It would be attributed to Ukraine. Would YOU press the button?
Next scenario, I'lll even make it easier for you. Same as above 150 men etc. YOU press the button killing 1,000 random people. Would YOU do it if it brought the war to an end, whereby Ukraine were happy with the deal.
