of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The court statement said that \u201cthere are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. Putin bears individual criminal responsibility\u201d for the child abductions \u201cfor having committed the acts directly, jointly with others and\/or through others (and) for his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, a UN-backed inquiry cited Russian attacks against civilians in Ukraine, including systematic torture and killing in occupied regions, among potential issues that amount to war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p>The sweeping investigation also found crimes committed against Ukrainians on Russian territory, including deported Ukrainian children who were prevented from reuniting with their families, a \u201cfiltration\u201d system aimed at singling out Ukrainians for detention, and torture and inhumane detention conditions.<\/p>\n<p>News of the arrest warrant comes\u00a0ahead of a planned state visit to Moscow next week by Chinese President Xi Jinping, which is likely to cement much closer ties between Russia and China just as relations between Moscow and the West hit new
