The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian official Maria Lvova-Belova for ...

Most countries on Earth – 123 of them – are parties to the treaty, but there are very large and notable exceptions, including Russia. I would like to believe (that the arrest warrant will bring practical results), but to be honest, I have my doubts, because most international organizations are very concerned, they say a lot of things, but I personally do not see any obvious action.” Asked whether the ICC is asking signatory countries to arrest Putin if he travels to them, Hofmanski referred to ICC statute, saying: “All state parties have the legal obligation to cooperate fully with the court, which means that they’re obliged to execute arrest warrants issued by the court. The court, which has 18 judges serving nine-year terms, tries four types of crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression and war crimes. Russia does not cooperate with this body, and possible [pretences] for arrest coming from the International Court of Justice will be legally null and void for us,” she said. The year of war has shown that even with all the help, this fight is a difficult one,” Tkachenko said. The court’s warrants are a wakeup call to others committing abuses or covering them up that their day in court may be coming, regardless of their rank or position,” Jarrah said. “This is a big day for the many victims of crimes committed by Russian forces in Ukraine since 2014. “We consider the very posing of the question outrageous and unacceptable. Some of the children have ended up thousands of miles and several time zones away from Ukraine. And we continue to work.” “In the criminal proceedings being investigated by our law enforcement officers, more than 16,000 forced deportations of Ukrainian children by the occupier have already been recorded.

Justice and accountability for crimes against children are crucial to prevent such crimes in the future. [concluded](https://newlinesinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/English-Report-1.pdf) that “the large-scale transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-controlled territory can amount to “[f]orcibly transferring children of the group to another group,” under Art. Putin is not hiding the crime and pledged to help to smoothen the process of adoption of Ukrainian children. As such, among the numerous legal steps taken, by Ukraine and other countries, to investigate and prosecute the crimes perpetrated by Putin, it is crucial that the crimes perpetrated against children are not forgotten. Denysova further added that Russia was “mak[ing] changes to the legislation to organize the accelerated procedure of adoption of children from Donbas.” According to Denysova, “Russia repeats the 2014 scenario when it was taken out of the occupied Crimea of Ukrainian children so-called ‘train of hope’ for their adoption.” Also, removing children from their country, their community, and their culture is not in the best interest of these children. Perpetrators of crimes committed against children are rarely held accountable. Delay in the repatriation of civilians may also amount to a war crime.” The step shows that the ICC is taking seriously the evidence of crimes committed against children. [Magnitsky sanctions](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-sanctions-russian-linked-to-forced-transfers-and-adoptions) on Ms Lvova-Belova for her alleged involvement in the forced transfer and adoption of Ukrainian children.

"Yes, Vladimir Vladimirovich," Lvova-Belova responded, using the Russian leader's patronymic. The organization also said it expects further arrest warrants for Russian leaders as Ukraine war crimes investigations develop. State Department accused the Russian government of operating a systematic network of custody centers for thousands of Ukrainian children. "It is forbidden by international law for occupying powers to transfer civilians from the territories where they live to other territories," he said. We support accountability for perpetrators of war crimes." He said his office handed more than 1,000 pages of documents over to the ICC regarding the alleged forcible deportation of children to Russia. "The very question itself is outrageous and unacceptable," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Like the United States, Ukraine is also not a party to the ICC.

Beijing and Moscow have since continued to reaffirm the strength of their ties.

The statement also made no mention of Ukraine. Peskov would not provide details about the discussions. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Putin and Xi would have a one-on-one meeting over an informal dinner Monday. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is planning to visit Russia next week in a diplomatic boost for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Currently, the world is entering a new period of turbulence and reform with the accelerated evolution of changes of the century,” he added." As permanent members of the U.N. Putin invited Xi to visit Russia during a video conference call the two held in late December. U.S.-Russia tensions were further escalated this week with the destruction of a U.S. It also issued a warrant for his commissioner for children's right, Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. Xi’s visit would mark his first meeting with Putin since September, when they met on the sidelines of a regional summit in Uzbekistan. Beijing has denounced Western sanctions against Moscow, and accused NATO and the United States of provoking Putin's military action. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The visit, Putin said, could “demonstrate to the whole world the strength of the Russian-Chinese ties” and “become the main political event of the year in bilateral relations.” Kyiv doesn’t just want Russia to pull back from areas taken since its February 2022 full-scale invasion. “We shall see what ideas will emerge after that.” [China](https://abcnews.go.com/alerts/Taiwan) at the meeting to propose a ceasefire in Ukraine as the “ratification of Russian conquest.”

Beijing said China would uphold "an objective and fair position" on the war in Ukraine.

The US is keen for Mr Xi and Mr Zelensky to be in contact. Nor do I think that this visit will result in peace… In an interview with the BBC before President Xi's visit was announced, Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said: "I don't think China has reached the moment now when it wants to, when it's ready to arm Russia. The fact the Chinese leader is going to Russia signals Beijing's strong support for Moscow. So the Chinese government definitely has some sway over Russia. This will be President Xi's first visit to Russia since Russian troops invaded Ukraine.

The Russian president is wanted by the ICC for alleged war crimes during his Ukraine invasion.

He noted that the US is not signed up to the ICC, "but I think it makes a very strong point". However Russian opposition leaders welcomed the announcement. When asked about the ICC's move, US President Joe Biden said "well, I think it's justified". It also accused him of failing to use his presidential powers to stop children being deported. The ICC relies on the cooperation of governments to arrest people, and Russia is "obviously not going to cooperate in this respect", Jonathan Leader Maynard, a lecturer in international politics at King's College London, told the BBC. [In a statement](https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-issuance-arrest-warrants-against-president-vladimir-putin), the ICC said it had reasonable grounds to believe Mr Putin committed the criminal acts directly, as well as working with others.

Arrest warrants issued for Russian leader and his children's rights commissioner for 'unlawful deportation' of Ukrainian children.

“Russia is not a party to the Rome statute of the international criminal court and bears no obligations under it.” On 16 February, Lvova-Belova appeared on television telling Putin about the programme and thanking him for being able to “adopt” a 15-year-old boy from Mariupol, the south-eastern Ukrainian city that was devastated and occupied by Russian forces. “The ICC prosecutor is an independent actor and makes his own prosecutorial decisions based on the evidence before him. In a statement on Friday, the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, said: “Incidents identified by my office include the deportation of at least hundreds of children taken from orphanages and children’s care homes.” We cannot allow children to be treated as if they are the spoils of war.” “I don’t think we were expecting to see him travel to France or Ukraine anytime soon, but he’s got to be careful,” Brody said. The US was more guarded in its response. I think this is what international prosecutors have failed to do over the last 20 years, so this is a good focus, as it’s one of the worst crimes being committed.” So I think it’s good to see the prosecutor focusing on children’s rights. But the Russian leader will face limits on his freedom of travel to the ICC’s 123 member states, further deepening his isolation. “My office alleges that these acts, amongst others, demonstrate an intention to permanently remove these children from their own country,” Khan said. Putin is likely to evade justice in the near future:

Unclear is how that squares with the Kremlin's own insistence its objectives in Ukraine can only be achieved by military means. Putin has eagerly sought China's backing as relations with the West have collapsed over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"The ICC is doing its part of work as a court of law. in prejudice of Ukrainian children." "This is an historic decision which will lead to historic accountability," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. "Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and bears no obligations under it." The court has no police force of its own to enforce warrants. The judges issued arrest warrants.

Court accuses Russian president of responsibility for war crime of illegal deportation of children from Ukraine.

“Ukraine has accepted the ICC twice – in 2014 and then in 2015.” The ICC cannot bring such a charge due to legal constraints. “This is a historic decision for Ukraine and the entire system of international law.” Even if that did happen, previous ICC cases have shown it is hard to convict the most senior officials. It can prosecute crimes committed by nationals of member states or on the territory of member states by other actors. The ICC, however, has no police force of its own or other ways to enforce arrests.

President Joe Biden said earlier this week he was planning to speak "soon" with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

We hope that President Xi and the Chinese government would be able to have the benefit of understanding what exactly the impact of their support to Russia is having.” And there is little question that the deep personal affinity between Putin and Xi has helped enhance closer ties between their nations as they each warn of encroaching American influence. “We think that it’s important that China has the perspective of Ukraine. The concern among US officials is not necessarily that Chinese weapons would help Russia land a decisive win in Ukraine. After China announced Xi’s visit to Russia by saying he was traveling “for the sake of peace,” the White House worked to preempt attempts to frame the Xi-Putin meeting as a peacemaking mission, suggesting any framework offered by Beijing would be weighted toward Russia and bad for Ukraine. So far, officials have said there hasn’t been any indication that Beijing has made a final decision to assist Moscow’s war efforts with lethal aid.

"The Chinese peace plan is a fig leaf to push back against some Western criticism on support for Russia," said Alexander Gabuev, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In the immediate term, the ICC's warrant for Putin and one of his aides is unlikely to have a major impact on the meeting or China's position toward Russia. In addition, it is highly unlikely that Putin would travel to a country that would be bound by obligations to the ICC. She said the visit reflects not so much China's desire for peace but its desire to play a major role in whatever post-conflict settlement may be reached. And when a country begins its peacekeeping activities or at least seeks to help the parties, not distinguishing this will affect objectivity," Butyrska said. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called Beijing's push for an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine a "ratification of Russian conquest" and warned that Russians could use a cease-fire to regroup their positions "so that they can restart attacks on Ukraine at a time of their choosing." Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan this week called on Xi to also speak with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian leader has also expressed interest in talks with Xi. The Biden administration believes China's desire to be seen as a broker for peace between Russia and Ukraine may be viewed more critically now that Putin is officially a war crime suspect, according to two U.S. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the matter publicly, said the administration hopes the warrants will help mobilize heretofore neutral countries to weigh in on the conflict. President Joe Biden said Friday he believes the decision by the International Criminal Court in The Hague to charge Putin was "justified." Speaking to reporters as he left the White House for his Delaware home, he said Putin "clearly committed war crimes."

It is important for Xi Jinping to get perspectives from both Russian and Ukrainian leaders, White House says.

He wants to be able to continue to try to build on the progress that he and President Xi were able to make in Bali. Kirby: We have been putting security assistance in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers at an unprecedented rate and with a sense of urgency that we all have shared over the course of a year now, and that will continue going forward. Are you concerned that this will be a way for Tehran to circumvent the U.S. You're going to see another delivery package here from the United States in [the] coming days, and I think you'll see in that package the kinds of materiel, weapons and ammunition that we believe are going to be vital to Ukraine succeeding in the weeks and months ahead. He means that, and he said he would look forward to a potential discussion with President Xi here in the near future. So, what would you like to see from that call, and have President Zelenskyy talk to the U.S. VOA: There are Chinese companies that have shipped the assault rifles, Chinese-made rifles and drone parts, and body armor through Turkey and UAE to Russia. And if that happens, what would President Biden’s message to President Xi be? What we are concerned about is that President Xi hasn't talked to President Zelenskyy and we believe it's important that he do that as well - that he doesn't just get the Russian perspective here on this war, but that he gets President Zelenskyy’s perspective. And on that note, can you give us the administration's current thinking of the discussion of the Germany, France and U.K. That's not going to happen, so I think we all envision the possibility that there could be some sort of negotiated settlement. We're going to continue to help international bodies as they collect evidence and begin to analyze that evidence going forward.

Russia’s damaged economy can never make up for the loss of the European and American markets that would likely ensue if China wholeheartedly took Russia’s side. Still, as Putin and Xi sit down for talks, they seem to agree unreservedly on one thing: both want an end to the post-World War II “liberal world order” guaranteed by the United States. On the crucial issue of sovereignty, Beijing is performing another balancing act by not criticizing Russia’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, while at the same time reaffirming that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be upheld. Even as the Russian president has made multiple thinly veiled threats to China, however, faces a dilemma: it officially opposes economic sanctions but – so far at least – is trying not to violate them, fearing Chinese companies themselves might end up being sanctioned. Russia is making up for that by [third term in office](https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/09/china/china-xi-jinping-president-third-term-intl-hnk/index.html).

Western sanctions are cutting off Moscow’s access to microchips and other sophisticated technology crucial for Putin’s military industrial complex; China is a leading producer of those components. Kremlin officials say the two leaders will be signing “important documents” that will “deepen relations” and solidify economic cooperation. Putin’s army is burning through military hardware, ammunition – and men. There’s sure to be plenty of glad-handing, champagne toasts, a major press conference and – behind closed doors – serious discussion.
