☆ Top UN court says Ukraine case over Russia’s invasion can go ahead
  + stars: | 2024-02-02 | by ( Sophie Tanno | Radina Gigova | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —The United Nations’ top court on Friday said that it will move forward with a case brought by Ukraine over Russia’s justification of its February 2022 invasion. Kyiv had asked the court to declare it did not commit genocide in eastern Ukraine - a claim made by Russia as a pretext for launching its attack. Ukraine filed the the case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) just days after Russia launched its invasion on February 24, 2022, citing Moscow’s invocation of the Genocide Convention to justify its assault. During hearings in September last year, lawyers representing Moscow urged judges to throw out the entire case. Ukraine is asking the court to rule “that there is no credible evidence that Ukraine is responsible for committing genocide in violation of the Genocide Convention in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine.”However, the court said it did not have the jurisdiction to rule on all submissions put forward by Ukraine, including the claim Russia’s invasion itself violated the Genocide Convention and that Russia’s recognition os separatist territories in eastern Ukraine also breached the convention.

☆ A Russian officer who brandished the skull of a Ukrainian soldier at a heavy metal concert was shot in an 'execution-style' hit: report
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Joshua Zitser | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A Russian captain was shot "execution-style" in the head on Saturday, according to reports. Igor Mangushev was filmed last year brandishing the supposed skull of a slain Ukrainian soldier. An expert said the "hit" on Mangushev may have been a proxy attack on the head of the Wagner Group. According to The New Voice of Ukraine, citing unverified doctors' reports, Mangushev was shot "execution-stye" at a checkpoint in the Russian-occupied region of Luhansk Oblast. Last summer, Mangushev was filmed brandishing the skull during a heavy metal concert.

Ukraine said Monday that it was able to use a drone to steal a Russian radio left behind in battle. A video shows the moment the drone picked up the radio, which was lying next to a dead Russian. Ukraine said the radio was still working and that it listened in on its enemy's plans for nine days. The unit told Insider the video was taken on December 28 last year near the village of Verkhnekamianske in the Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. "We received information from the radio as it was fully intact and working," the unit told Insider in a message.
☆ Ex-Russian operative who visited the front in Ukraine says Russian troops are in disarray due to a 'crisis of strategic planning'
  + stars: | 2022-12-08 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Igor Girkin is a former Russian military commander who led the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The soldiers are facing "the deepest crisis of strategic planning," Girkin wrote on Telegram. On Tuesday, Girkin recounted what he saw at the front on Telegram and said that Russian troops are fighting with no clear "strategic goals." It's a mystery for them: What is the condition for victory or just a condition for ending the war," Gurkin wrote. His remarks to the presidential Human Rights Council came shortly after Ukrainian forces sent drone attacks deep into Russian territory.
☆ Russia is drafting soldiers with 'serious, chronic health conditions' to fight in Ukraine: UK intel
  + stars: | 2022-11-25 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Russia is drafting fighters with chronic health problems to fight in Ukraine, UK intelligence said. "Mobilized reservists have highly likely experienced particularly heavy casualties," it concluded. In an intelligence update Thursday, the ministry addressed the mobilization of reservists by the Russian military in its invasion of Ukraine. Russia ordered the mobilization of around 300,000 reservists in September, after its military suffered heavy casualties in its invasion of Ukraine. Both sides though have sustained heavy casualties.
☆ Russian troops are building new defensive positions nearly 40 miles behind current front lines, a sign they're planning for more retreats, UK intel says
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Russian troops are making new defensive positions miles behind the front lines, the UK said Friday. British intelligence said that these new positions suggest the Russian military is planning for more retreats. Ukrainian troops last week entered the southern city of Kherson after Russian President Vladimir Putin's defense chief ordered a retreat across the Dnipro (also called Dnieper) River. A Ukrainian tank is seen as Ukrainian Armed Forces' military mobility continue toward Kherson front in Ukraine on November 9, 2022. According to a recent assessment by the Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, Russian forces have continued to attack Bakhmut, though Ukrainian forces have so far managed to repel the assaults.
☆ Soldiers are threatening to shoot the families of Ukrainians if they don't vote in illegal referendums, report says
  + stars: | 2022-09-24 | by ( Joshua Zitser | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Illegal "referendums" are underway in the occupied Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Armed soldiers are going door-to-door to collect votes in the "sham" polls, per reports. Some Ukrainians have been threatened with the murder of their families if they don't take part, per The Telegraph. Voting in the Kremlin-orchestrated polls, which were announced earlier this week, has begun in the four occupied Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. The "referendums" are illegal under Ukrainian and international law, per NPR.
☆ Putin is facing pressure from Russia's hawkish nationalists who want all-out war in Ukraine
  + stars: | 2022-09-07 | by ( Jason Corcoran | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +16 min
As the nationalists' most prominent figurehead, Igor Girkin has been among the most searing in his criticism of Russia's military strategy. Addressing his followers last week, Girkin said: "The war in Ukraine will continue until the complete defeat of Russia. The Smolninskoye District Court ruled that the municipal council should be dissolved and subsequently charged the deputies with "discrediting" Russia's military. The widespread purging of liberals and journalists that occurred in the early days of the Ukraine war is relatively straightforward in Russia. But cracking down on ultra- nationalists is more dangerous and may have dire consequences – especially if Russia loses the war.
