The confrontation between Russia and the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been intensified with arrest warrants on Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov. The former defense minister and the top general are charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, many people overlook the strategic purpose of Russia's war crimes and how the conflict with the court in The Hague is a part of a bigger battle against the so-called rules based world order.

DNIPROPETROVSK REGION, Ukraine (AP) — At a rural penal colony in southeast Ukraine, several convicts stand assembled under barbed wire to hear an army recruiter offer them a shot at parole. In return, they must join the grueling fight against Russia.
[...]
Ukraine is expanding the draft to cope with acute battlefield shortages more than two years into fighting against Russia's full-scale invasion. And its recruiting efforts have turned, for the first time, to the country's prison population.
Although Ukraine does not announce any details of troop deployment numbers or casualties, frontline commanders openly acknowledge that they are facing serious manpower problems as Russian continues to build up forces in eastern Ukraine and make incremental gains westward.
More than 3,000 prisoners already have been released on parole and assigned to military units after such recruitment was approved by parliament in a controversial mobilization bill last month, Ukrainian Deputy Justice Minister Olena Vysotska told The Associated Press.
About 27,000 inmates could potentially be eligible for the new program, according to Justice Ministry estimates.
[...]
Prisoners can get the conditional release after an interview, medical exam, and a review of their conviction. Those convicted of rape, sexual assault, murdering two or more people or crimes against Ukraine's national security aren't eligible.

"Two or more people"? I think allowing any murderers out is not a good idea. Aside from anything else, the optics are terrible.

Mirgorod Air Base in Poltava Oblast attacked. This is not a historical post. Like 80 years ago, the Air base at Mirgorod had been attacked. Damage is unclear at the moment.
An Orlan 10 drone flew for over 3 hours above the city and AB. Maybe is time to bring some antidrone defenses up and the kit and GA solutions are more needed than anyone thought previously:
