Almost 800,000 people have signed an international petition to indict Vladimir Putin on war crimes charges.

He told Sky News: ‘There is a lot of evidence that war crimes are taking place in Ukraine.’ The leader of the Russian government, the man who made the decision to do this in the first place, is the person who is responsible for war crimes. It’s not just Putin who is responsible for war crimes; when evidence is found and people are responsible. Because they’re also prosecuting war crimes in Ukraine, this is a bad thing about the Russian people.

General Sir Jim Hockenhull, the head of British defense intelligence; says the Kremlin has had to change its strategy because it can no longer afford; Russia is careless and indiscriminate with its firepower. This means that more civilians may die. There are “enormous” stocks of artillery ammunition in Russia; and they could keep bombarding Ukraine for a long time, Western officials say. They want Ukraine to give up. After more than three weeks; it is clear that the Kremlin has not met any of its goals.

It has been surprised by the size and ferocity of the resistance in Ukraine; and it has been stymied by its own problems, he said to the press. It has changed how Russians do their work now; Russia is now using a strategy of attrition to fight back. This will require the use of firepower in a careless and haphazard way. This will lead to more civilian deaths; damage to Ukrainian infrastructure, and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

A senior British minister said anyone in the chain of command in Russia could face prosecution by a war crimes tribunal.

She said on Friday that she fears that the Kremlin is using peace talks between Russia and Ukraine as a smokescreen to let forces regroup so that they can fight again. According to a quote from the Times, if a country is serious about negotiations; it doesn’t randomly bomb people on the same day. This is what the government minister said:

“I’m very suspicious about the negotiations. What we’ve seen is an attempt to make space for the Russians to regroup.”

In an interview, Ms. Truss said that the Russians have been telling lies and lying. She’s afraid that the talks are just another way; to divert attention and make a smokescreen. Gen. Hockenhull said that at the same time; Vladimir Putin is tightening his control over Russian media in a bid to hide the heavy losses his troops have suffered; in the fight against the West.

Russians don’t know how many Russians died in the attack; because the Kremlin is trying to control the narrative and hide operational problems from them, he said. As many as 7,000 Russian troops died in fighting so far; according to American sources. Four major generals and a number of other senior officers died in the war.
