The Pre-Trial Chamber found that there were reasonable grounds to believe that the two suspects were responsible for missile attacks carried out by forces under their command on Ukrainian electrical infrastructure from at least October 10, 2022 to at least March 9, 2023. This was reported on the ISS website on March 5.
It is noted that at the time of this crime, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylash was the commander of Long-Range Aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces. And Admiral Viktor Sokolov was the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Both attackers are responsible for the war crimes of attacks on civilian objects and causing excessive incidental harm to civilians or damage to civilian objects. Sokolov and Kobylash are also accused of crimes against humanity.
The International Criminal Court emphasized that there are “reasonable grounds for believing” that these individuals bear individual criminal responsibility for the above crimes.
Let us recall that almost a year ago, on March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accused of war crimes in Ukraine.
