Biden justifies war crimes charge against Putin.
TL;DR Summary
US President Joe Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has committed war crimes in Ukraine and the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for Putin is justified. The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia's commissioner for children's rights, on suspicion of their involvement in the unlawful deportation and transfer of children from Ukraine's occupied areas to Russia. The Kremlin has called the charges against Putin outrageous and meaningless with respect to jurisdiction in Russia. The ICC can impose a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
