Russian propagandist threatens countries that want to arrest Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin (70) is increasingly in trouble. The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against him on Friday for war crimes.

While Ukraine cheered the “historic” decision, the Russian leadership reacted with disdain and derision to the arrest warrant, which they say is “legally void”. This is partly because Moscow does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction.

The reactions of the Russian propagandists were not long in coming. Margarita Simonyan (42), editor-in-chief and presenter of the Russian state broadcaster RT (formerly: Russia Today), took the floor shortly after the announcement.

On Twitter, she immediately puts the West in its place: “I would like to see a country that would arrest Putin according to the Hague judgment. Or how long the flight time to his capital would be.”

Propagandist threatens nuclear retaliation

Julia Davis, 48, a Ukrainian-American journalist who launched a project to monitor Russian state television, finds clear words for the Russian propagandist: “Margarita Simonyan, suggests that any country that might attempt to arrest Putin would face atomic annihilation.” be destroyed.” So the “Daily Beast” journalist on Twitter. Desperation and threats are all the Kremlin has left.

However, according to media reports, it is very unlikely that the Kremlin ruler can be arrested. Even the president of the International Criminal Court, Piotr Hofmanski (67), admitted that while the judges of the Court issued the arrest warrants, it was up to the international community to enforce them.

So if the Russian president sets foot in one of the 123 signatory states, he will be arrested. And only then can the criminal court start a trial against him, Alexander Hug (49), who worked for the international commission for missing persons, explains to Blick.

According to Hug, the arrest warrant restricted Putin’s freedom of movement. Whether that affects him remains to be seen. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the head of the Kremlin has rarely left his country, and then his journey did not go to the West. It is doubtful whether this will change in the future.
