The International Criminal Court has issued this Friday a arrest warrant against the president of RussiaVladimir Putin, under the presumption of a war crime for the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from areas captured during the Ukrainian war to Russian territory.
It has also issued an arrest warrant for the same reason against the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights of the Russian Federation, Maria Alekseievna Lvova-Belovahas assured in a statement.
The court understands “reasonable grounds” to believe that Putin “has individual criminal responsibility” for these crimes, either for their “direct” commission or for having been unable to “exercise adequate control over the civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts.”
