The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

He is accused of forcibly deporting children from Ukraine to Russia after the invasion last year.

But is this a symbolic move and is it realistic that Putin will actually be arrested and stand trial?
