The first response from the United Kingdom Government to Putin's arrest warrant comes

UK Foreign Secretary backs Vladimir Putin's arrest warrant.

"Those responsible for the horrific war crimes in Ukraine must be brought to justice," James Cleverly tweeted.

"The work must continue to investigate the atrocities committed." His comments echo those of Sir Keir Starmer, who said there is "no hiding place for Putin and his cronies and the world is determined to make them pay for what they have done".

"I have seen the devastation inflicted on the brave people of Ukraine," the Labor leader said.

"These cases are only the tip of the iceberg. One day Putin will face justice: until then, we will continue to support her victory,” Cleverly said.
