The International Criminal Court has indicted Putin and some other
Russians for forcibly taking hundreds, probably thousands, of
Ukrainian children to Russia and concealing who they are from
their
Ukrainian relatives.
The article describes what he has done.
I have no doubt that Putin merits punishment for this. However,
putting him on trial for it risks prolonging the war. If Ukraine is
militarily successful, Putin might be willing to retreat from Ukraine
in exchange for being allowed to continue in power in Russia. Insisting
on trying him might convince him to continue holding parts of
Ukraine
until the Putin forces are pushed out.
