Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S. is sending her list of war crimes committed by Russia to the Hague. I haven't found a link but her announcement was shown on MSNBC earlier.

ETA link:

~
Ukraine’s ambassador to the US, Oksana Markarova, said Ukraine was gathering evidence of shelling of residential areas, kindergartens and hospitals to submit to an international war crimes court in The Hague as possible crimes against humanity.

They have same situation as the United States and three other counties where we are members but really can’t be charged. I guess sending charges is something. We’ll have to see how it plays out.

9. That's a defeatist attitude. It may be more likely that the Russian military removes

Putin, but they'll need much more financial pain first. At any rate, sending charges is the proper thing to do, regardless of outcome.
Fuck Putin and his supporters.
