MOSCOW-(MaraviPost)-An arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Russia President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes relating to the abduction of Ukrainian children.
This follows war between Russia and Ukraine since February 2022.
But in brief telephone conference call with BBC journalist on Friday evening, March 17, 2023, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov had this response to the ICC arrest warrant for President Putin:
“The very question [raised by the ICC] is outrageous and unacceptable. Russia, along with several other states, does not recognise the jurisdiction of that court and thus any decisions of this kind for Russia are null and void from a legal point of view.”
Peskov declined to take any further questions on the subject.
