TikTok reduces staff numbers in Moscow

Social media company TikTok said on Friday it would cut its Russian staff numbers after the company suspended key services for Russian users earlier this year.

"This year, we were forced to take a number of decisions regarding the operation of our service in Russia and now, unfortunately, we have had to reduce the number of employees in the country," the company said in a statement to RIA Novosti news agency.

Chinese-owned video app TikTok suspended livestreaming and new uploads in Russia after Moscow introduced strict new media censorship following its attack on Ukraine.

Are attacks on critical infrastructure war crimes?

Russia's attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities, have been described as possible war crimes by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

On Friday, Russia launched dozens of missiles across Ukraine knocking out electricity in its second biggest city, hitting critical infrastructure in the south and causing explosions in the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.

The Geneva conventions say that parties involved in a military conflict must distinguish between "civilian objects and military objectives" and that attacks on civilian objects are forbidden.

This prohibition is also codified in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which earlier this year opened an investigation into possible war crimes in Ukraine.

Some infrastructure owned and used by civilians can also be a military objective. Military objectives are defined as "those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action" and whose destruction or capture "offers a definite military advantage."
