THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — International Criminal Court judges have issued arrest warrants for three men wanted on suspicion of committing war crimes during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, the court announced Thursday. The Hague-based court opened an investigation in 2016 into the conflict, which killed hundreds and left thousands of civilians displaced. Russia invaded Georgia after violence broke out between separatist groups and Georgian forces. In 2021, the European Court of Human Rights concluded that “grave human rights abuses” occurred on Russian-held territory. The three wanted men — Lt.-Gen. Mikhail Mindzaev, Gamlet Guchmazov and David Sanakoev — served in the government of the Russian-backed self-declared republic of South Ossetia. In a June 24 ruling released Thursday, a panel of judges concluded there was “reasonable grounds to believe that each of these three suspects bears responsibility for war crimes.” Human Rights Watch welcomed the warrants. “The 2008 … [Read more...] about ICC seeks arrest of 3 suspects linked to Russia-Georgia war

The delay, announced hours before the scheduled vote, indicated that Spirit lacked support to approve the Frontier merger. JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said Spirit shareholders gave their board a mandate to negotiate a sale to his airline. But JetBlue investors seemed underwhelmed by the prospect of the New York carrier buying Spirit. They sent shares of JetBlue down 6% Thursday. Spirit rose 4%, and Frontier barely changed.

ROME — Pope Francis has once again condemned the Russian war on “dear and tormented” Ukraine, calling for prayers and aid for the besieged nation. “Every day I carry in my heart the dear and tormented Ukraine, which continues to be scourged by barbaric attacks, like the one that struck the Kremenchuk shopping centre,” the pontiff said after his Angelus prayer in the Vatican Wednesday. “I pray that this insane war may soon see an end, and I renew the invitation to persevere, without tiring, in prayer for peace: may the Lord open those paths of dialogue that men are unwilling or unable to find!” he said. “And let us not neglect to come to the aid of the Ukrainian people, who are suffering so much,” Francis concluded.
