A thunderbolt in The Hague (Netherlands). Around 4pm, Friday 17th March, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin and his Children’s Rights
Commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, for their alleged responsibility in the deportation of Ukrainian children. Ukraine has identified 16,221 children forcibly transferred to Russia. However, tens of thousands of others are believed to have been deported to Crimea and at least 57 regions of the Russian Federation. What consequences could this decision have for Vladimir Putin?
