Putin in Crimea to mark nine years since annexation - a day after war crimes arrest warrant

The peninsula was illegally taken by Russia in 2014 and Ukraine has vowed to fight until it is returned.

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is now liable to arrest in 123 countries - but he knows that no one is going to detain him in Crimea.

He did not seem concerned that the president, and Russia's children's commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, are wanted for the effective kidnapping of over 100 children.In a meeting that was broadcast nationally, Putin and Lvova-Belova casually discuss how she had adopted a 15-year-old Ukrainian boy. "I think for many international criminal lawyers, it's a refreshing and encouraging sign that Prosecutor Khan is making a decision here to prosecute first, a case that he knows he can prove with very little difficulty. But as I say, more charges are bound to follow."
