Will Putin ever be held accountable?

The UN commission of inquiry examining evidence of war crimes by Russian troops in Ukraine have come up with numerous examples of torture, rape and brutal murder. The victims, the UN said, ranged from four to 83. The details are horrific. Will the soldiers who perpetrated these crimes ever be arrested and charged? But more importantly, will Vladimir Putin who is in total charge of every obscenity going on against Ukraine and its people, be held fully accountable? After reading the evidence of war crimes, I believe every decent leader in the world should be calling for Putin to be subject to an international arrest warrant. Wherever he goes outside Russia he should be detained and sent to the international criminal court in The Hague. I have a strong feeling, especially after Putin's mobilisation of 300,000 reservists, many of whom are desperately trying to avoid being pressganged by leaving the country, that the majority of Russians will be happy and relieved for this monster of a leader to be put on trial for his crimes. It is time for the international community to act.
