Court in The Hague issues arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin

 


The International Criminal Court in The Hague has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova.

Both are suspected of committing war crimes - forced deportations and displacement of the population, in particular children, from the occupied territories of Ukraine.

International law can regard this as genocide. The court's website icc-cpi.int states that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Putin is personally responsible for the alleged crimes.
