The Kremlin said Friday that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin is “outrageous and unacceptable,” adding that Russia views the move by the International Criminal Court as void.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes related to the alleged abduction of children from Ukraine, a largely symbolic move for now that the Kremlin shrugged off.
The tribunal based in The Hague said one of its pre-trial chambers had granted a request from the prosecution filed Feb. 22 for warrants against Putin and his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, according to a website statement.
