Moscow Officials in Panic Over Putin Arrest Warrant Leaks.

Private chats between Moscow officials reportedly showed panic and concern after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. Some officials compared themselves to members of Hitler's inner circle and expressed worry about facing war crimes charges. Members of the Russian parliament discussed how to respond to the warrant but came up with nothing. While the Kremlin publicly dismissed the order, lawmakers were advised to stay quiet, and state-run news programs largely made no mention of it.
