The international criminal court in The Hague has issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and his children’s rights commissioner, Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, for the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.
The court’s pre-trial judges assessed there were “reasonable grounds to believe that each suspect bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children”.
Of all of Putin's war crimes, this one is probably the easiest to prove.

From what I've seen this court has no way to enforce their warrants in Russia so it's just a black mark on Putin's world record. It obvious he doesn't care about one more black mark. The same court found G W Bush and his cronies guilty too, but nothing has ever seemed to happened to them either. These kind of people do not have the same sense of shame as is expected of decent people and that's how they get where they are at.
How about a large reward for his containment and arrest? Get all those worldwide groups out to bust him. Every alphabet org and private group in the world. I suspect even the Wagner group might be available to help.

Depending on how long it takes to get those children back, Ukraine may want to be careful if they do. How long does it take to convince little kids that their parents didn't want them, and *that* is why they are in Russia, alone? How proficient is the GRU in programming children, over the years of their childhood, to be loyal GRU agents?
We have somewhat the same problem, I fear. Consider all those Russian women who flew to Florida for a short vacation in the sun while waiting to give birth to a legally *American citizen*, then flew back to Russia. I cannot imagine that those kids won't be getting extra-special attention over the next decade or two, unless Russia as we know it is miraculously replaced by the Russia we have hoped for.
