Putin is a war criminal and should be tried as a war criminal by an International Criminal Court in The Hague. It is unlikely he will ever leave Russia now, this action will prevent him travelling the world as the Russian President. Putin will now become an international pariah.

He may attempt to travel directly to a friendly nation but risks being intercepted, his aircraft may even get shot down by a Buk missile from a separatist movement. What we do know is ex KGB officer Vladimir Putin is a war criminal, the Russian war crimes perpetrated against Ukraine are crimes against humanity. This includes attacks on infrastructure vital to people’s survival such as the energy grid and of course hospitals.

Based on comments by Sir Geoffrey Nice [British Barrister and Judge], the lead prosecutor for former Yugoslavia President Slobodan Milošević in The Hague, Putin is a war criminal and should face justice by the International Criminal Court. Based on civilian targeting of missiles, Putin leads the military and sets the military direction. Russia is losing on the battlefield, they cannot attack military targets so their weakness is the targeting of civilian infrastructure to try to freeze the population during winter – it didn’t work.
