Vladimir Putin declared war criminal as Russia's invasion of Ukraine rages on
16.03.2022 - 17:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been declared a war criminal by US politicians as his country’s invasion of Ukraine continues.
The US Senate last night backed the resolution which was supported by senators on both sides of the political divide last night.
Officials at the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague have now been encouraged to investigate the Russian military for potential war crimes committed during the invasion of Ukraine.
Putin claims to have ordered his armed forces to carry out a ‘special military operation’ to demilitarise and ‘denazify’ Russia’s neighbouring country.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday: “All of us in this chamber joined together, with Democrats and Republicans, to say that Vladimir Putin cannot escape accountability for the atrocities committed against the Ukrainian people.”
A total of 691 people, including 47 children, have been confirmed to have died in the conflict, according to the latest records from the United Nations - but the death toll is believed to be much higher.
Most of the casualties recorded have been caused by the use of explosives, including shelling from heavy artillery, missiles and air strikes.
It is also estimated that more than three million people have fled Ukraine since the conflict started on February 24.

Andy Serkis Revives Gollum to Slam Vladimir Putin and Condemn Ukraine Invasion
Zack Sharf Andy Serkis resurrected Gollum for a brief moment this week on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Although Serkis was on the late night show to promote his role as Alfred Pennyworth in “The Batman,” “Lord of the Rings” super-fan Colbert quickly pivoted the conversation to all things Middle Earth.Serkis told Colbert that he voiced 132 different characters in the “Rings” audiobooks, which led to the actor and motion capture icon demonstrating his voice work skills. When it came time to break out Gollum, Serkis did so in a way that bashed Vladimir Putin.“Gollum was on this side and Sméagol was on this side,” Serkis said. “And he would say things like, ‘We wants it.
