Vladimir Putin - Russian politician.
Born on October 7, 1952 in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg. Prez on charges of deportation of children from Ukraine and the European Commission said that another international center will be established in The Hague to prosecute criminal aggression in Ukraine.
"We all want to see here in The Hague another Vladimir, one who deserves to be punished for his criminal actions here in the capital of international law. I am sure that will happen when we win. Anyone who provokes war must to be brought to justice," Zelensky noted.
Russia, which is not a member of the ICC and rejects its jurisdiction, denies committing atrocities during its conflict with Ukraine, which it calls a "special operation to demilitarize its neighbor".
The ICC said Zelensky's visit lasted less than an hour, but did not elaborate on what topics were discussed.
On his way out, Zelensky, dressed in his characteristic khaki clothes, waved to a Ukrainian family standing in front of the ICC building and chanting "Glory to Ukraine".
The Ukrainian president, who is on his first official visit to the country, is expected to deliver a speech in The Hague titled "No peace without justice for Ukraine."
Since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022, the Ukrainian leader has visited several foreign capitals, including London, Paris and Washington.
The Netherlands is a strong supporter of Ukraine, and last February Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said he did not rule out any military support for Kiev as long as it did not draw NATO into conflict with Russia.
"Guardian": The decision of the ICC to issue an arrest warrant for Putin needs support
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said last February that an international center for the prosecution of criminal aggression in Ukraine will be established in The Hague.
The ICC can prosecute genocide in Ukraine, but it has no jurisdiction over allegations of criminal aggression by Russia there, according to Reuters.
The UN defines criminal aggression as "an invasion or attack by the armed forces of a state (on) the territory of another state, or any military occupation".
