The Ukrainian president lauded the International Criminal Court for pursuing «the top leader of the terrorist state.»
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has praised the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin as a «historic decision.»
Zelensky said during his nightly televised address on Friday that the warrant for «terrorist» Putin was well-deserved, as the Russian leader is suspected of taking part in the war crime of forcibly deporting minors from Ukraine to Russia.
The ICC warrant, issued earlier in the day, accuses the Russian president of «unlawful deportation of population (children)» and «unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.»
A warrant was also issued for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, who’s accused of playing a role in orchestrating the abduction of the children.
