Where could Trump and Putin meet about the war in Ukraine? The options are limited
Briefly

President Trump plans to announce a meeting with Vladimir Putin regarding the Ukraine war. The meeting's timing and location remain unclear, complicated by Putin facing arrest from the International Criminal Court (ICC) over war crime charges. The ICC, which began operating in 2002, pursues serious crimes such as genocide and war crimes but lacks enforcement power and depends on member countries' cooperation. Neither the U.S. nor Russia are ICC members. Ukraine joined in 2024 and alleges Russian abductions of Ukrainian children, which Russia claims are part of a humanitarian effort.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin in 2023, limiting where negotiations regarding the Ukraine war can take place.
The ICC has authority to pursue serious criminal charges including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, relying on international cooperation for enforcement.
