TL;DR Summary

Russia's parliament speaker, Vyacheslav Volodin, has proposed banning the activities of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Russia and punishing those who support it, after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of war crimes.

Russian officials have denied war crimes in Ukraine and cautioned that any attempt to arrest Putin would amount to a declaration of war against the world's largest nuclear power.
