Policy Exchange is hosting a series of podcasts on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its broader consequences.  In this episode Michael Mosbacher asks Julie Marionneau – Research Fellow on Policy Exchange’s Judicial Power Project, and previously a Major in the French Airforce and a Legal Adviser to Nato on the Law of Armed Conflict – about the law as it relates to Russia’s invasion:

1. Ukraine has armed much of its civilian population. What is the legal status of those Ukrainians who may fight to defend their country but are not part of a regular army or militia? Does the Law of Armed Conflict apply to them?
2. There are calls for NATO to impose a No Fly Zone over Ukraine at the request of the Ukrainian government. Would this amount to an act of war against Russia?
3. Could Putin be indicted for war crimes?
4. Some British people are volunteering to fight for Ukraine. Is this illegal?
