The Implications of an ICC Warrant for Putin's Arrest.
TL;DR Summary
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 17, accusing him of committing war crimes in his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. All ICC states, including every member of the European Union, are legally required to arrest Putin if he ever steps foot on their territory. Putin could also face arrest as part of a coup orchestrated by Russian elites, or even a citizen's arrest by a member of the public. The Kremlin has warned that any attempt to arrest Putin on the ICC's warrant would amount to a declaration of war against Russia.
