Ukraine is calling on Brazil to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he attends the upcoming G20 summit, citing an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant issued in March 2023. The warrant accuses Putin of war crimes, specifically the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children.
Ukraine's Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin has urged Brazilian authorities to act on the warrant, as Brazil is a signatory to the Rome Statute, which governs the ICC.
Russian officials have dismissed the warrant as politically motivated and invalid.
