NEAR KREMINNA, Ukraine ¨C Ukraine¡¯s future hinges on the outcome of fighting with Russia in and around Bakhmut, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, with both sides describing relentless battles as Moscow intensifies a winter campaign to capture the small eastern city.
In what would be the first international war crimes cases arising from Russia¡¯s invasion, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is expected to seek the arrest of Russian officials for forcibly deporting children from Ukraine and targeting civilian infrastructure, a source told Reuters.
Moscow would be certain to reject arrest warrants against its officials. But an international war crimes prosecution could deepen Moscow¡¯s diplomatic isolation over a campaign that has killed thousands of civilians and drawn Europe¡¯s fiercest fighting since World War II.
