The court said in a statement that Vladimir Putin “is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of the population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation”

An arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war crimes over his involvement in the abduction of children from Ukraine.

Ukraine’s presidential advisor for children’s rights, Daria Herasymchuk, last month reported that almost 14,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) said in a statement that Putin bore individual criminal responsibility for the abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children which amounts to war crimes.

It also issued a warrant 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.
