A growing list of countries say they will arrest Putin if he goes there, enforcing an international

warrant accusing him of war crimes

A growing number of countries in Europe said they would arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he ever goes there.

Although the threat is largely symbolic, it is nonetheless embarrassing for Putin, who is increasingly being treated in the West as a criminal rather than a national leader.

The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest on March 17, accusing him of ordering the abduction of children in occupied parts of Ukraine, which would be a war crime.

Countries who recognise the ICC are meant to enforce its warrants, and in the days that followed various countries have made clear that they would.
