0:55Now PlayingThe ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It's "very much a symbolic move," Bloomberg's Rosalind Mathieson explains.
The tribunal based in The Hague said one of its pre-trial chambers had granted a request from the prosecution filed Feb. 22 for warrants against Putin and for his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, according to a website statement.
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that each suspect bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children,” according to the statement.
Russia doesn’t recognize the court’s jurisdiction, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier this week. In response to the Friday’s announcement, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the decisions of the ICC “have no significance” or legal basis for Russia, Tass reported.
Putin is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, the highest-profile international visitor to Moscow since the start of the war.
