A Belarusian opposition activist has sent materials to the International Criminal Court (ICC) implicating Belarus and its president Alexander Lukashenko as participants in the smuggling of Ukrainian children.
Lukashenko remains Putin's closest ally, allowing the Kremlin to use his territory to send troops and weapons to Ukraine and accepting the landing of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus.
The authoritarian leader has also accepted the project of a "union" state with Russia, which foresees the deepening of economic, military and political relations between Moscow and Minsk, foreign media report.
Pavel Latushka, who is a former minister of culture, has said that the materials he sent to the ICC implicate Belarus in the trafficking of more than 2,100 Ukrainian children who were forcibly sent to Belarus with Lukashenko's approval.
Latushka said he hopes the materials sent will enable the ICC to issue an arrest warrant for Lukashenko, as it did for Putin.
