As Russia continues its horrific crimes across Ukraine, innocent civilians are left dead on the streets, deceased animals piled up and accountability nowhere to be seen

After reporting on the atrocities in Ukraine for weeks, it continues to send shivers down my spine, as a journalist – but most importantly, as a human being.

Whether we like it or not, we’re witnessing the war from the front lines of social media like never before, and the bloody footage brings you to your knees.

We’re witnessing bodies lying in mass graves, people brutally raped and tortured, and animals thrown into piles.

I have been fortunate enough to speak with Ukrainian politicians, journalists, and Ukrainian civilians who’re living through this war.

I have no doubt in the will and spirit of the Ukrainian people, who will continue to fight for their freedom.

However, to witness such horrific crimes unfolding in 2022 makes me fear for what the future holds.

One question continues to sit at the front of my mind: Who holds Putin accountable?

War Crimes Investigation

The United States has formally recognised Putin is committing war crimes, with many world leaders condemning his actions.

If Putin appeared before the International Criminal Court, the evidence would undoubtedly stack up against the Russian leader.

However, it’s unlikely Putin will ever walk willingly before a court, and he cannot be extradited from Russia.

“It’s really hard to hold the leader of another country, especially one as large and powerful as Russia accountable for war crimes.”

Putin’s view of the world

Speaking in Bucha, Ukrainian President Zelensky has accused Russia and its leader, Putin of committing genocide.

Putin has potentially removed himself from ever cooperating with world leaders on the global stage again.

However, there are deep concerns about how Putin perceives the world and what he wants in Ukraine.

“It seems to be this recreation of the empire, this idea that there’s some kind of Russian orthodox messianism that’s driving his war over Ukraine.”

While Putin is being accused of massacring innocent civilians, there are concerns over his mental well-being as a leader and how far he will go for power.

Carol Saivetz says this is nothing new for Russia.

“Russia’s done it before… This is the Russian way of warfar when it doesn’t go their way.”

In Journalism, it is our role to be impartial

However, it goes against my moral compass to shed light on Russia’s perspective. There aren’t always two sides to a story, sometimes things are just blatantly wrong.

Someone who is mentally stable does not massacre innocent civilians. However, if Putin cannot be held accountable for this, then the west’s weakness is on full display.

What does this show to other countries like China, with their interest and desire for power over Taiwan?

SpaceX’s upcoming IPO could raise $25 billion and value the company over $1 trillion, igniting investor excitement for Mars missions.

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
