Biden orders evidence of Russia's war crimes in Ukraine to be shared with Hague court 

The New York Times writes about this concerning informed sources.

Officials familiar with the issue emphasize that this indicates a major shift in American policy.

According to the officials, Biden's decision overturns months of resistance from the Pentagon, which argued that such a move could set a precedent that would allow the prosecution of the US military.

According to the newspaper, US intelligence agencies have collected information, including details about the decision of Russian officials to deliberately strike civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and forcibly deport thousands of Ukrainian children from the occupied territory.

The NYT notes that the United States has already shared some of this evidence with Ukrainian prosecutors, but refrained from providing it to The Hague.

• On March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. In response, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev threatened to launch a missile strike on the court in The Hague.

• On March 23, a memorandum is signed between the government of Ukraine and the court in The Hague on the opening of an office of the International Criminal Court in Kyiv.

• The International Court of Justice in The Hague is considering Ukraine's lawsuit against Russia for violation of the Genocide Convention. Another 32 countries were allowed to join the lawsuit.
