Zelenskyy welcomed the issuance of the warrant for the arrest of the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet

The President of Ukraine commented on the Hague Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for the commanders of the Black Sea Fleet and Russian Air Force.

“Every Russian commander who orders strikes against civilians and critical infrastructure must know that justice will be served. Every perpetrator of such crimes should know that he will be brought to justice,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video message.

The President emphasized that international justice takes time, but it is inevitable.

“We are making every effort to ensure that no Russian animal responsible for the murders of Ukrainian children, women and men goes unpunished. And no amount of stars on the epaulettes, no cabinet doors will hide them from responsibility,” the head of state emphasized.

The day before, USM wrote that the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, Viktor Sokolov, and the commander of the long-range aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Serhiy Kobylash.

Recently, special forces of the Defense Intelligence destroyed the Russian patrol ship “Sergei Kotov”. The attack was carried out by Magura V5 marine drones.
