This is the best summary I could come up with:
The International Criminal Court in March announced that it was issuing an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, declaring that he is “allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation” of children from occupied areas of Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials accuse Russia of having deported or forcibly displaced more than 19,500 children, a claim bolstered by independent investigations.
Russia has admitted taking minors from Ukraine — and having them adopted by Russian families — but insists it has done so for their own safety.
A. Khan, was in Kyiv to mark the opening of the new office following the signing of a cooperation agreement in March, under which Ukraine will share evidence it has gathered of possible Russian war crimes.
“Today marks a pivotal stride in our journey towards restoring justice,” Kostin wrote in a post on social media, saying Ukraine would provide access to witnesses and alleged crime scenes.
“We are doing our utmost to ensure that the ICC experts can see the aftermath of the aggressor’s crimes with their own eyes and draw their independent conclusions.”
