about 1 year in Denver Post

Russian President Vladimir Putin has traveled to Crimea to mark the ninth anniversary of the Black Sea peninsula’s annexation from Ukraine. Putin visited an art school and a children’s center on Saturday, the day after the International Criminal Court’ issued an arrest warrant for the Russian leader accusing him of war crimes. The court specifically accused him Friday of bearing personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale invasion of the neighboring country that started almost 13 months ago. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, a move that most of the world considered illegal.
