A year ago today Russian forces bombed a theatre in Mariupol, which was being used for shelter by civilians.  In order to avoid targeted the word 'CHILDREN' was written in Russian in front of the theatre.  You can see it in this photograph, which also shows what the Russians did to the theatre.

independent investigations have estimated the deaths of civlians from dozens to hundreds.  It's likely that the true number will never be known as following the occuption of Mariupol the site was cleared by Russian autorities and has since been demolished.

A genocidal character to this crime in how the massacre was of no military benefit but just a cleansing of people with the "wrong" ethnicity. Along with the destruction and now erasure of a cultural landmark.

Released footage two of SU-27 passes on the MQ-9, including the one that damaged the drone.

Later in the video we see the damaged propeller blade, which would clearly be sufficient to require a emergency landing due to an imbalance, and would prevent getting any really thrust from the propeller.

Neither Ukraine or Russia are signatories of the treaty forming the ICC, but non-members can accept court juristriction over individual matters. Ukraine has done so…Russia, I think, will not.

Think this ICC thing means Vlad had better avoid travelling anywhere in green on this map especially if Ukraine gets around to ratifying (that's why it is in yellow):

Would be easier to take the whole process seriously though if Western leaders like Richard Nixon had ever been subject to an arrest warrant when they similarly lost the plot in international law terms.
