War crimes accused Russian official causes UN walkout and Ukraine child deportations

The US, UK, Albania, and Malta walked out of a UN meeting led by Russia as Moscow's envoy for children's rights, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes, began speaking. The US and UK also blocked the video from being broadcast on the UN's website. The ICC has levied arrest warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the envoy, Maria Lvova-Belova, for illegally deporting children from Ukraine to Russia. Russia has dismissed the warrants and said they were invalid. The Kremlin has positioned the deportations as a humanitarian aid program, while the international community has accused Russia of illegally deporting children.
