It is reported by Tagesschau referring to the statement of the German Federal Minister of Justice, Marco Buschmann.
"The International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands, could investigate Putin for crimes against humanity," the politician said. “This is not a hypothetical case," he added.
Buschmann claims depriving the population of electricity and heating in winter by destroying civilian infrastructure can be considered a crime against humanity.
The minister added that Putin’s television addresses could indicate that he is directly responsible. He explains that destroying Ukraine is a desirable tactic. On the other hand, the German Prosecutor General cannot investigate the Russian president because he is the head of state and therefore has immunity.

The UN is investigating whether Russia's shelling of Ukrainian critical infrastructure is a war crime. France is also working on creating a special tribunal to investigate Russia's war crimes.
