The Russian leader’s no-show at the BRICS summit in South Africa demonstrates the geopolitical impact of the ICC’s arrest warrant.

Great. But to really get international credibility they should issue an arrest warrant for George W. Bush too. The Iraq invasion was no less criminal than the Ukraine one is.
While I don’t necessarily support the decision to invade Iraq, I would dispute “no less criminal”. Iraq invaded Kuwait, the military intervention was at least in part justified, and justifiable on the he grounds of being defence of Kuwait. After that, yes it becomes a bit of a grey area, but there is nothing at all grey, no ounce of justification, for Russia invading Ukraine.
