War crimes arrest warrants issued for top Russian officials | BBC News


The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Russia’s former defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, and the chief of general staff, Valery Gerasimov.

The ICC judges said the two men were suspected of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war in Ukraine.

The court said there were grounds to believe that Mr Shoigu and Mr Gerasimov bore individual criminal responsibility for attacks on civilian targets between October 2022 and March 2023.

Russia’s Security Council said the ICC’s arrest warrant against Mr Shoigu was "insignificant" and part of a hybrid war against Moscow.
