Russia’s children’s rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova, wanted by the International Criminal Court for the “deportation” of Ukrainian children, said on Tuesday she is ready to send children back to Ukraine if their families request it.
On March 17, the Prosecutor General of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, introduced an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Llova-Belova. The warrant, which accused Putin and Lolva-Belova of conducting the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children to a “network of camps” across the Russian Federation, inspired a wave of incendiary commentary in the West.
