Russian President Putin declared war on Ukraine on February 24 last year. Putin called it a military operation. It has been almost 13 months for this ongoing war between the two countries and till now no result has come out of it. Regarding this, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has mostly called Putin responsible for the war crime. Ukraine’s President Zelensky had complained about this in the ICC. For the first time since the start of this war, the ICC has issued an arrest warrant against Putin. At the same time, the ICC’s decision has been called insulting and unacceptable by the President’s Office of Russia.
At the same time, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has compared this ICC warrant to toilet paper. He said that Russia, like other countries, does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, so it does not make any sense.

This Court is also known as Rome Law. The official meeting of this court takes place in The Hague, Netherlands, but the proceedings of this court can take place anywhere and in any country.
