Quote: "Such statements by a Russian official calling for war crimes and demanding unbearable living conditions for civilians should lead to an ICC arrest warrant."

Details: In response to Tolstoy's suggestion that Ukrainians should "come out with their hands up", Tykhyi said the only reason for Ukrainians to raise their hands is to "give Tolstoy and his fellow war criminals the middle finger".
