The International Criminal Court said Friday it has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes because of his alleged involvement in abductions of children from Ukraine.
The court said in a statement that Putin “is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.”
It also issued a warrant Friday for the arrest of Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, on similar allegations.
The court’s president, Piotr Hofmanski, said in a video statement that while the ICC’s judges have issued the warrants, it will be up to the international community to enforce them. The court has no police force of its own to enforce warrants.
“The ICC is doing its part of work as a court of law. The judges issued arrest warrants. The execution depends on international cooperation.”

Not are beloved Putin!
Typo: are = our.
Which is not a sure bet.
A large number of our "political elites" need to quickly STFU if they want to keep their phony-baloney jobs.
ICC = International Cricket Council?
That’s a wicked googly!
‘Bout time the ICC put a white “international criminal” on their most wanted list.
All theater.
Why would Putin want to snatch Ukrainian children?
“ICC issues arrest warrant for Putin over Ukraine war crimes”
Good! That’s effectively a major sanction against the SOB because now he can be interdicted when he travels abroad and any nation receiving him can be in turn sanctioned for harboring an international fugitive.
Why would Putin want to snatch Ukrainian children?Leftists always project.
“Why would Putin want to snatch Ukrainian children?”
1. To make Russians out of them.
2. To sell them into the Russian sex market.
3. To sell them to Western child abusers.
4. To hurt the Ukrainians with a sadistic act against their kids.
PING!!!!!!!
I’ve not had any respect for the ICC since it’s inception.
It was not backed even close by a majority of UN nations.
Bill Clinton signed to join on his last days in office.
GW was too busy to withdraw that approval.
It is an attempt to put all nations under the direction of
a world government.
No!
This is ill advised. They can’t arrest Putin, and if they
tried it would be an open invitation to an invasion.
I couldn’t blame Russia if it did. What we pulled off
with Noriega would not fly with a nation like Russia as
the adversary. It shouldn’t.
Prolly something to do with denying the children their gender reassignment surgery.
guess Russia won’t be attending any future G8 meetings ...
getting arrested and hauled away in cuffs in front of all those cameras could be embarrassing for Russia’s “leaders”
This also has ramifications for increased sanctions and embargoes on Russia. This is no small move by the ICC.
This is the same court that people like Biden want to give jurisdiction to in order to charge people in the USA.
What? Not precious Pootie Poot........
Decisions of International Criminal Court (ICC) have no meaning for our country, including from legal point of view, Russia is not party to treaty on establishment of ICC and bears no obligations under it - Maria Zakharova (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia)
Who and what army is going to arrest him?
