ABSTRACT: The situation that has unfolded in Ukraine since 2014 have had consequences in international relations and has also been brought before international tribunals, i.e., the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the International Criminal Court, the later issuing arrest warrants against Vladimir Putin and Maria L’vova-Belova. Moving from the historical background of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, this paper aims to analyse the international reactions to it, focusing on the “judicial” responses and in particular on the ICC investigation and arrest warrants paying close attention to their public availability. The objective of this work is, with the limitations present due in the analysis of events that still have to unfold completely, both on the field and in the courtrooms, to understand what effect these judicial proceedings can have on the Russian Federation’s diplomatic, international, and economic relations.
