Russia sanctions ICC prosecutor, UK ministers: foreign ministry

MOSCOW: Russia announced sanctions Friday on the International Criminal Court prosecutor, who is seeking the arrest of President Vladimir Putin, as well as British ministers who have fiercely opposed Moscow offensive in Ukraine.
The foreign ministry denounced the "unwavering military support from London" to Kyiv and "the aggressive implementation... of a hostile anti-Russian policy", after almost a year and a half of conflict in Ukraine.
The ICC Karim Khan, who is British, issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March on the accusation of having unlawfully deported Ukrainian children.
Russia, which is not a member of the ICC, insists the warrant against Putin is "void".
