Russia must withdraw its troops from Ukraine immediately.

And let those people return to their homes and their lives.

This is a war crime worthy of the Hague and the World Court.

Perhaps Mr Putin should remember the former leader of Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu? He was tried as a war criminal and was found guilty and executed, along with his wife Elena.

Mr Putin should withdraw those troops before the situation gets worse. He could start to look like a war criminal.

I mean, the Hague would be a great place for Trump to go to do this.

He's the world's richest man. You'd think that would be enough. Now the legacy of Putin, will be remembered for little more than a war criminal with blood on his hands.

Plus he should pay reparations for the cost Ukraine incurred from Putin's invasion.

And will be volunteering at the human rights clinic where I did my law studies. I imagine I’ll be poring over images and reports. Several of my colleagues have and continue to advise the ICJ, and I imagine this will become a textbook case.
