Signatories of the 1998 Rome Statute, which established the Hague-based court in 2002, are required to arrest those subject to warrants as soon as they enter their territory which theoretically includes airspace, which is also considered sovereign territory under international law. Hungary, which recently stated its intention to withdraw from the agreement making it a safe space for Putin is surrounded by countries which would be bound by this. However, the ICC, which has 125 member states, has no police force and hence no means of enforcing arrests.
