International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Putin over alleged Ukraine war crimes
The
International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant Friday for Russian President
Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being responsible for war crimes in
Ukraine.
Putin committed the “war crime” of overseeing the unlawful abduction and deportation of children
from Ukraine to Russia, the court said in a news release.
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes,” the court, based in The Hague, Netherlands, said its pre-trial judges had assessed.
It added that Putin had failed to “exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control.”
Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Putin's presidential commissioner for children's rights, is also alleged to have committed similar crimes, the ICC said.
Putin's press secretary Dmitriy Peskov rejected the findings of the international court, “We do not recognize this court, we do not recognize the jurisdiction of this court. This is how we treat this,” he said in a Telegram post.
