Ok, this is very interesting. How is it he took this initiative? Actually, is it an initiative or part of the process?

It's part of the process. Now the request is before judges who will decide whether or not to issue the arrest warrants. For reference, when an ICC prosecutor asked for an arrest warrant for Vladmir Putin, it took a couple months for the judges to decide and then issue the warrant.

Yeah, the process is slow but thorough (as it should be since these are among the most difficult cases in existence).

I know nothing about the process. How can a decision take months? What else are they doing? Are there counter arguments or something happening in the meantime?

The judges have to read and verify the documents they got for this case. This takes some weeks to months.

And good thing Putin is rotting in a prison cell right now.

hopefully his helicopter will crash into the foggy mountains or his train to china/north korea will derail
