TL;DR Summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern over "threats" from Russia following its issuing of a war crimes arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin. The ICC's statement of concern came after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened to hit the war crimes court in The Hague with hypersonic missiles. The ICC arrest warrant for Putin accuses the Russian leader of unlawfully deporting thousands of Ukrainian children, a war crime. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a member of the ICC, although Kyiv has granted the court jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed on its territory.
