MOSCOW — Any attempt to arrest President Vladimir Putin after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for the Kremlin chief would amount to a declaration of war against Russia, his ally Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday. The ICC issued an arrest warrant on Friday, accusing Putin of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. It said there are reasonable grounds to believe that Putin bears individual criminal responsibility. Former President Dmitry Medvedev told Russian media that the ICC, which countries including Russia, China and the United States do not recognize, was a 'legal nonentity' that had never done anything significant.
