ICC’s arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin for Ukraine war crimes ‘void’: Kremlin

After the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant on Friday against Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being responsible for war crimes committed in Ukraine, Kremlin responded terming the warrant for ‘void’.

Moscow has repeatedly denied accusations that its forces have committed atrocities during its one-year invasion of its neighbour.

The ICC issued the warrant for Putin’s arrest on suspicion of unlawful deportation of children and unlawful transfer of people from the territory of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.

Ukraine’s presidency on the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin, said it was just an initial step in restoring justice over Russia’s invasion.
