The Russian President will likely be further isolated and have his travel restricted following the international court's decision to issue an arrest warrant to the leader over alleged war crimes.
Russia has not hidden the fact they had taken children and teenagers from Ukraine to give to Russian families, claiming it was part of its humanitarian response in the war.
The warrant comes after ICC's chief prosecutor Karim Khan visited Ukraine in the past year where it investigated global claims of war crimes. "They said to us, we are feeding you, we give you water and we give you heating and comfort, and you're so ungrateful," the teen recalled. But his travel, including those of his other top officials, could be severely restricted as they would open themselves up to prosecution now or in the future.
Parliament speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, a close friend of the Russian leader, said the move was evidence of Western"hysteria".
