The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Russian commanders Sergei Kobylash and Viktor Sokolov, accusing them of war crimes in Ukraine. The warrants allege their involvement in missile strikes on Ukrainian electric infrastructure, causing civilian harm and damage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the warrants, emphasizing accountability for those targeting civilians. However, Russia's refusal to recognize the ICC makes extradition unlikely. This marks the second round of ICC warrants related to the conflict, following previous warrants for President Putin and his children's rights envoy. Russia has consistently denied allegations of targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
