Zelensky in The Hague: Putin Deserves Trial for His Criminal Actions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated today, Thursday, that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be tried for his "criminal acts." During a speech in The Hague, Netherlands, where the International Criminal Court is located, Zelensky said, "We all want to see Vladimir differently here in The Hague, as a person who deserves to be punished for his criminal acts here, in the capital of international law. I trust this will happen when we win." The Dutch news agency (ANP) reported that Zelensky arrived at the Dutch parliament at around 07:00 GMT to meet with lawmakers. The Dutch government indicated, before Zelensky's visit, that he would also attend meetings with Prime Minister Mark Rutte and members of parliament. Zelensky is expected to deliver a speech titled "No Peace Without Justice for Ukraine." In March, the court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding allegations of the deportation of children from Ukraine, a war crime.
