Question: does the issuing of an ICC arrest warrant for Vlad the Impaler make peace negotiations less likely?

Probably doesn't make much difference either way.

I think it makes them look pretty pathetic and also a little late to get on the bandwagon of virtue signalling "oh,oh, we know you have an army and nuclear weapons but you WILL face our judgement... somehow"
This could have been done last year the moment the war began.

The warrant was issued following evidence of child abduction and deportation by the Russian state from Ukraine so it could not have been done before February 24th 2022.

You only ever get done for war crimes if you are on the losing side. This will presumably make him even more determined, if such a thing is possible, not to let that happen.

Gwar wrote a great song about Vlad the Impaler.
