The consequences of the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin for international law will be “monstrous,” Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, said on his Telegram channel.
“After all, this is the collapse of the foundations, the principles of law. Including the postulates of the inevitability of responsibility. Now no one will go to any international bodies, everyone will negotiate among themselves,” he said, adding that from now on all decisions of the UN and other international structures “will burst at the seams.”
The deputy chairman of the Security Council also stressed that “everyone walks under God and missiles,” and advised the judges to carefully look into the sky, since “it is quite possible to imagine the targeted use of a hypersonic Onyx from the North Sea from a Russian ship at the Hague courthouse.” According to Medvedev, the court is just an international instance, “that’s why they won’t start a war, they’ll be afraid.”
Recall that the ICC issued a warrant for the “arrest” of Putin, as well as the children’s ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova on March 17 in the case of the “illegal deportation” of children from the territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation. The Kremlin called this decision of the court in The Hague “unacceptable”, and the official representative of the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that it was “legally null and void.”
