Putin knows about the crimes of his army in Ukraine, so when the war is over, his trial will be quick. This opinion was expressed by the prosecutor of the International Tribunal in the case of Slobodan Milosevic Jeffrey Nice in an interview with Espreso..

According to the expert, after the first war crimes of Russian soldiers in Ukraine, Putin could have stopped their further commission, but deliberately did not. Taking into account the available evidence of the atrocities of the occupiers, the tribunal over the head of the Kremlin should not take much time.

And this is a clear case where a lawsuit should not be long,” Nice said..

Note that the British lawyer was the lead prosecutor in the trial of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.. He specializes in human rights, public law and personal injury..
