BRUSSELS—The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and another senior Russian official accused of war crimes, a historic move that that focuses attention on tens of thousands of young war victims.
The warrants are linked to Russia’s forced deportation of children from Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. It marks the first time a leader of a country with a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council has ever been called for trial before the court, an intergovernmental institution not part of the U.N.
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. Putin bears individual criminal responsibility” for the alleged crimes, the court said in a statement. The second official, Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights in Mr. Putin’s office, has overseen the deportations, the court said.

I thought this might be of interest since y'all often express concern for children and their well-being. Plus law and order and all that jazz.
