Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said the actions of the “International Criminal Court”, which issued an arrest warrant for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, are “a shocking political development”.
“The ICC charges against President Putin are a shocking political event with large-scale geopolitical consequences in Europe and around the world,” he said on his Telegram channel.
According to the Prime Minister, these actions will only “add oil to the fire of the conflict in Ukraine”, especially before the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping in Moscow, during which he is expected to mediate the peace.
“How can Putin negotiate peace when the other side threatens him with arrest? asked Hun Sen.
The prime minister also expressed the view that the ICC’s decision could lead to nuclear war.
“President Putin is the leader of a nuclear power with thousands of nuclear weapons,” he said.
Hun Sen added that the threats against the Russian president indicate an increased risk of nuclear war, as well as the fact that it could start in Europe, including at the headquarters of the ICC.
On the eve of Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev threatened to target the use of hypersonic missiles “Onyx” at the courthouse in The Hague.
