The Kremlin is not ready to issue an ICC warrant for the arrest of Putin – media

At the moment, the Kremlin does not fully understand how it is possible to “ensure the safety” of the president in the new conditions.

The Kremlin is not ready for the issuance of a warrant by the International Criminal Court for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. We are talking about limiting his movement around the world. Meduza reported this, citing sources close to the Putin administration.

“Theoretically, the President of the Russian Federation can be detained on the basis of the Hague warrant in 123 countries. Sources close to the Presidential Administration note that at the moment the Kremlin does not fully understand how to “ensure the safety” of president in the new conditions,” the newspaper wrote.

It was noted that in 2023 the Kremlin planned to promote the image of Putin as a “defender of the West”, “defender of Latin America and Africa from colonial oppression” and “one of the main leaders of the multipolar world.” However, this requires travel abroad, to which Putin is now limited due to the ICC ruling.

According to sources, even some CIS countries are no longer a safe space for Putin. For example, Tajikistan, where the Rome Statute was adopted.

The interlocutors of the publication note that Putin’s trips are very important, including for Russian domestic propaganda, which, relying on news about these visits, can tell citizens that “Russia still has also more friends than ill-wishers” and the country remains “one of the pillars of the multipolar world”.

As one of the sources said, “restrictions on foreign visits will work in the opposite direction. Before the warrant, Putin’s trips were combined with the trips of foreign leaders to Moscow. Now it is not that it is possible to maintain the same frequency of meetings.

It was noted that difficulties with Putin’s foreign visits have already begun. So, in August 2023, the next summit of the BRICS countries will be held in the Republic of South Africa (South Africa), but the authorities of this country on March 20 announced that they had already “noticed” the ICC warrant. .

In addition, the Putin administration has acknowledged the possibility of expanding the list of Russian officials who will be issued arrest warrants. This may include governors of regions where children from occupied Ukraine are accepted.

It can be remembered that recently the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Some EU countries have already declared that they will arrest Putin if he dares to appear on their territory.

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the Russian Federation does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and considers its decisions “null and void.”
