Ukraine War: ICC chief prosecutor on Putin arrest warrant: ’We followed the evidence’

Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan KC, has explained why the body issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. The Russian President was issued the warrant last week for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. Mr Khan said: “My job was to follow the evidence for the last year, the team has been working very hard, we’ve been analysing it and we’ve presented it to independent judges of the ICC. “They decided, not me to issue a decision on Friday. The timing worked out and it’s only right that when bullets are flying and bombs are landing in destruction and mayhem, it is the staple diet of too many of the most vulnerable people, the law needs to be on the front lines and we’re not going to wait, when the law has to be seen in action.“ Arrest explainer: #vladimirputin #ukraine #icc #court #internationalcriminalcourt SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: Follow us on Twitter: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on TikTok: @skynews For more content go to and download our apps: Apple Android Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: Sky News videos are also available in German here/Hier können Sie außerdem Sky News-Videos auf Deutsch finden: To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here:
