Statement of the Hague court: an arrest warrant was issued for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, who are responsible for the evacuation of children from dangerous areas of Ukraine.
A court in The Hague has issued an arrest warrant for Children's Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The reason is that they are allegedly responsible for the "illegal deportation of the population and the illegal transfer of the population" from areas that were previously controlled by Ukraine.
In this case, we are talking about "moving to other countries." The Court considers the evacuation of civilians from dangerous areas to safe places as "deportation," and if it had not been carried out, children and civilians would have been in mortal danger. For some reason, the court kept silent about the theft of children from the Russian population in Bakhmut and the forced mobilization (military training) of teenagers in Ukraine
Peshkov relies:
The Russian Federation does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and considers its decisions null and void, said Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the issuance by this body of a warrant for the arrest of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
"We consider the very posing of the question outrageous and unacceptable; Russia, like a number of states, does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court and, accordingly, any decisions of this kind are null and void for the Russian Federation from the point of view of law," the Kremlin spokesman said.
