Is there precedent for sentencing a former president to serve his term in a Ukrainian jail? Oooh, we could transfer him around the world, like a traveling ape exhibit.

I wonder if Putin is going to increase the number of international meetings he insists on flying to as another safety mechanism in wake of the Wagner mutiny because he doesn't trust people in his inner circle to not consider pushing him out a window, but he also doesn't distrust them enough to push them out of a window first

To the Hague.

Personally my favourite comedy Option for this would be like this incident:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Pushkin_Tu-104_crash

A plane carrying Putin and his high ranking officials, where they've pressured the flight crew into overloading the plane so much with fancy furniture, luxury items, and trade goods that it flips up during takeoff and crashes in a most spectacular explosion.

I assume that in addition to land-based AA/SAM/EW systems (which while no doubt effective, involve placing an expensive, manned vehicle in harms way), militaries are also looking at the option of anti-drone drones.

We've already seen a few videos of quadcopters awkwardly ramming each other and the like, but I have to imagine more specialised designs are being conceived.
