The International Criminal Court accuses the Russian leader of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children.
Russia's commissioner for children's rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, is also wanted by the ICC for the same crimes.
The court had initially considered keeping the arrest warrants a secret, but decided to make them public to try and stop further crimes being committed."This type of crime doesn't need one to be a lawyer, one needs to be a human being to know how egregious it is."Mr Khan also pointed out that nobody thought that Slobodan Milosevic, the Serbian leader who went on trial for war crimes in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s, would end up in The Hague to face justice.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said any of the court's decisions were "null and void" and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev compared the warrant to toilet paper.
