Why Russia Is Stealing Ukraine’s Future

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted by Russian forces. On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant to arrest President Vladimir Putin for crimes against humanity. In the weeks before the ICC's action, officials within the State Department were pressuring the U.S. to support the court’s efforts to hold the Kremlin accountable, but the Pentagon blocked the Biden administration’s coordination with the ICC. To understand why, host Ray Suarez speaks with Beth Van Schaack, ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice at the State Department. Then post-Soviet expert Nicholas Eberstadt explains why Putin’s war crimes are being fueled by a historic population collapse in Russia.see more

We'll discuss the closely-watched case, which hit a major roadblock yesterday at a hearing in San Francisco.
