The Hague has accused Putin of unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia since Moscow's invasion last year.
“The head of the terrorist state and another official have officially become suspects in a war crimes case,” he said. He added that Russia, like many other countries, does not recognise the jurisdiction of the The Hague. However, chances of Putin facing a trial remain bleak as Russia does not recognise the court’s jurisdiction or extradite its nationals. “Many of these children, we allege, have since been given for adoption in the Russian Federation,” said The Hague.

इसका सीधा मतलब है कि रूस के लिए इस वारंट का कोई महत्व नहीं है. ऐसे में पुतिन की गिरफ्तारी के दो ही तरीकों से हो सकती है. इंटरनेशनल लॉ के मुताबिक, ICC किसी भी देश के लीडर को दोषी तो ठहरा सकता है, उनके खिलाफ गिरफ्तारी वारंट जारी कर सकता है लेकिन उनकी गिरफ्तारी के लिए वह दुनियाभर के देशों पर निर्भर रहता है. रूस के प्रवक्ता दिमित्री पेसकोव ने मीडिया से कहा, हालांकि, अमेरिका ने लंबे समय से अपनी दूरी बनाए रखी है. हालांकि, पुतिन के सत्ता में रहते हुए ट्रायल की संभावना बेहद कम है. न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स ने अक्टूबर 2022 में रूस द्वारा यूक्रेनी बच्चों के पुनर्वास की खबर छापी थी. इसके साथ ही उनके विदेश आने-जाने पर भी लगाम लग सकती है.

However, he is now a wanted man, which will limit the countries he can visit. In a statement, the ICC said that it had good reasons to think that Putin and others were responsible for the crimes. It was a “symbolic step” but an important one, said Ivan Zhdanov, a close friend of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny. “No need to explain WHERE this paper should be used,” he tweeted with a toilet paper emoji. The White House said that a ceasefire at this point in the war would be like “ratifying Russian conquest.” In September of last year, Lvova-Belova expressed her displeasure over some kids who had been taken from Mariupol because they “spoke badly about the [Russian President], said awful things, and sang the Ukrainian anthem.”
US president says international criminal court's warrant 'makes a very strong point' while Moscow rejects move as 'meaningless'
The UN, Ukraine and Turkey have called for a 120-day rollover of the agreement. A ceasefire in Ukraine would “in effect recognise Russia’s gains and its attempt to conquer its neighbour’s territory by force, allowing Russian troops to continue to occupy sovereign Ukrainian territory”, said the White House national security spokesperson, John Kirby. The Black Sea grain initiative, brokered between Russia and Ukraine by the UN and Turkey last July, is due to expire on Saturday. Erdoğan also said Turkey’s willingness to consider ratifying Sweden’s Nato bid would “depend on the solid steps Sweden will take”. Ukraine was taking “an order of magnitude less” in fighting where “several thousand” shells a day have been fired by both sides, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Kyiv’s wartime curfew will be reduced by an hour to boost business. China’s President Xi Jinping is to visit Russia next week in an apparent show of support for Vladimir Putin. Many 18-21-year-old men currently claim exemption from the draft due to being in higher education. The Ukrainian president discussed how his forces hope to retake areas that Russia has captured. The law would likely be passed, it said, and come into force in January 2024. The Ukrainian defence minister, Oleksiy Reznikov, was also on the call, along with Roman Mashovets, the deputy head of Zelenskiy’s office. Talks are in progress on the renewal of an agreement allowing the safe export of grain from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, the UN’s office in Geneva has said.

Till the time he is in Russia, Putin faces no risk of being arrested. War crimes can also be prosecuted in Ukraine’s own courts, and a growing number of countries are conducting their own investigations. Even if an arrest did happen, previous ICC cases have shown it is hard to convict the most senior officials.

Striking an important blow for international justice, the court has shown there is no impunity for even the most senior leaders. The decision by the international criminal court (ICC) is unlikely to lead to his arrest and trial in the foreseeable future.
