The ICC warrant orders the arrest of Putin and Russia's ombudsman for children's rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, for war crimes charges relating to the abduction of Ukrainian children.
Russia and Putin deny any war crimes during the invasion of Ukraine, saying they are victims of Western aggression and lies.
