We must further reduce Moscow’s capacity to fund its war, including through its shadow fleet. EU naval Operation IRINI has boarded six suspected vessels in recent months, making it the lead actor in boarding operations. National boarding operations should continue in parallel.

Putin-linked oligarch Umar Kremlev secretly bankrolled Don Jr’s Bahamas wedding: private island, $70K fireworks, his team helped plan it. Trump Jr’s spokesperson didn’t deny it, just called him “a personal friend.” Nothing to see here, just Russia buying a seat at the family table

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

"Targeting civilians & civilian buildings is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I. The double-tap tactic, timing a second strike to hit rescuers, is separately prosecutable as an attack on protected persons. Major Yarmolenko's death illustrates both in a single event."
Russia and Israel's war on civilians##
Targeting civilians and civilian buildings is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I. The double-tap tactic, timing a second strike to hit rescuers, is separately prosecutable as an attack on protected persons. Major Yarmolenko's death illustrates both in a single event. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March 2023 over the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. The overnight strikes add to an evidentiary record Ukrainian prosecutors and ICC investigators have been assembling since February 2022.

That record now sits alongside another one, and the comparison is instructive. Since 7 October 2023, more than 65,400 people have been killed in Gaza and 167,160 injured, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health as reported by OCHA. The confirmed breakdown through October 2024 included 13,319 children, 7,216 women and 3,447 elderly. Israeli forces have struck residential buildings, hospitals, tents sheltering displaced families and people waiting for aid continuously across the length of the conflict. Like Russia, Israel says it targets only military infrastructure. Like Russia, it has used double-tap tactics against rescue crews. Like Russia, it has killed the people who came to pull survivors from the rubble.

Documented incidents establish the pattern precisely. In October 2024, an Israeli airstrike on a five-storey residential building in Beit Lahia killed between 55 and 93 Palestinians, including 25 children. In December 2024, a strike on a shelter in the Nuseirat refugee camp killed 33 people, the majority children. In April 2025, a strike on a residential building in Shuja'iyya killed at least 35 people in an area crowded with displaced families. Each time, the IDF said it was targeting militants. Each time, the UN documented mass civilian casualties with no credible military justification established.
