The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of overseeing the unlawful abduction and deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia.

Vladimir Putin traveled to Crimea to mark the ninth anniversary of its annexation from Ukraine, one day after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him accusing him of war crimes.
