The Brazilian minister said he “doesn’t think it’s possible” and “also hopes it won’t happen.”
Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said in an interview with the Brazilian BBC that his country is unlikely to arrest Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, despite the fact that it once signed the Rome Charter.
The Brazilian official recalled that Putin was invited to the G20 summit, which will be held in Brazil in 2024, because Russia is a member of the G20.
“We must consider it on a case-by-case basis. Always, even in the rules of the ISS, there is a regime for heads of state that we must study. If he (Putin – ed.) is wants to come, we will be glad to have him with us at the meetings in Brazil.” “, assured the officer.
The interviewer asked the minister to comment on whether there is a possibility that Putin will be arrested if he goes to Brazil.
“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s possible. I also hope not. I don’t know. We will not take any initiative to make this happen,” said the head of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry.
Vieira assures that for such a move “there must be an order.” However, he did not specify what specific order he was talking about.
We previously wrote that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be invited to the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, but Brazil may arrest him on a warrant from the International Criminal Court.
As you know, in March the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin and Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova for the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children. Thus, all countries that have ratified the Rome Statute must arrest the President of Russia if he visits their states.
