The ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Maria Lvova-Belova, the commissioner for Children's Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. According to the court, she and Putin are personally responsible for the forced deportation of children from occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia.
Moscow does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction or extradite its nationals, therefore it is highly unlikely that Putin will face trial at the ICC.
