Russia has filed legal proceedings against Ukraine with the International Criminal Court and the International Court of the United Nations for the alleged destruction of the Kakhovka HPP by “massive artillery fire”.

Details: The occupiers, who seized the Kakhovka HPP at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, said that Ukraine allegedly raised the water level in the reservoir as much as possible before the shelling.
Quote from Russian diplomat Oleksandr Shulgin at the ICC: “The Kyiv regime not only launched massive artillery strikes on the dam on the night of 6 June but also deliberately raised the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir to a critical level.”
Details: Ukraine also filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court over the Russians’ blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP on 6 June.
Quote from Prosecutor General’s Office: “General Prosecutor Andrii Kostin informed International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan about the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP dam by the Russian occupation forces. The Prosecutor General also signed and sent a document in which the Ukrainian side shall provide the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court with all the necessary information.”
Details: Kostin called the Russian attack on the Kakhovka HPP a war crime and added that he would do everything to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that such a powerful structure could not be destroyed by artillery from the outside, and that for such large-scale destruction, the explosion had to be carried out from the inside.

This will blow up in the orcs faces, just like MH17. Firstly russia withdrew from the ICC in 2016, and the Rome Statute. Secondly, any of the UNSC permanent members can veto, or just ignore any ICJ ruling, as russia did in 2022 when the ICJ ordered them to withdraw from Ukraine. The ICJ cannot enforce any ruling.
I can’t wait to see the russian evidence, or how Ukraine raised the level of water when it was the orcs that controlled the sluice gates on the dam. As for the massive shelling of the dam, I’m sure their are plenty of witnesses that can prove otherwise.
First rule of nazi propagandists: “always accuse your victims of what you are doing.”
And RuZZians are indeed NAZIS.
The response from the ICC should be, deliver the war criminal, then we will listen to your bs.
Putin: we dont recognize the ICC and their rulings.
