Russia, in response to the position of some countries regarding the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Putin, will do what best suits its interests. This statement was made by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
“We consider any decision of the International Criminal Court, which we also do not recognize, to be legally null and void,” a Kremlin spokesman said.
Recall that the Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against two people. Namely, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova.
Earlier, German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said Putin would be arrested if he visited Germany. He added that he would fulfill the ICC requirement if the Russian leader was on German territory.
In a conversation with Paragraph, Andrey Klimov, deputy head of the Federation Council’s international committee, called the intention of the head of the German Justice Ministry to arrest Putin “savagery”.
