The Pre-Trial Chamber of the UN-backed International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Friday, in connection with alleged war crimes concerning the deportation and "illegal transfer" of children from occupied Ukraine, the head of the ICC said.
"The contents of the warrants are secret to protect the victims," said ICC President Piotr Hofmański. "Nevertheless, the judges decided to make the existence of the warrants public, in the interest of justice and to prevent future crimes."
