ICC to probe Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure
That’s according to Karim Khan, who is a prosecutor with the Intetnational Criminal Court, who spoke with CNN.
According to the senior prosecutor, the law may not be as strong as many would wish but it is also not as weak as many think.
“The law is going to ensure that there will be a day of reckoning in Ukraine and in other situations where any bully, any individual with a gun or with a missile, or with a capacity to inflict terror on the most vulnerable of our next generations will realize that the law is there,” Karim Khan td CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

“Members of my office last night were in the bunkers along with many other civilians – Ukrainian children, women, and men, and this is a matter that engages issues of morality, issues of law, and issues of empathy and humanity. And we need to be there to get to the truth,” Khan stressed.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, on Monday, October 10, Russia inflicted massive missile strikes on the civilian infrastructure of Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Zhytomyr, Dnipro, and other cities across Ukraine.
A total of 84 cruise missiles have been launched, of which 43 were downed by air defenses.
