Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warned the International Criminal Court against attempts to execute the warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This is how Medvedev commented on the European Union’s statement of concern in connection with Putin’s visit to Mongolia, a member of the ICC.
The politician's comment was published on his Telegram channel.
How Medvedev warned the ICC
Having called the ICC statute legally null and void, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council stated that the Mongols “sent” the ICC and the European Union in the “Russian-Mongolian direction, known since the eighth century.”
Medvedev noted that if he were in the place of the ICC prosecutors and judges, he would be afraid that some madman would try to carry out an illegal warrant against the Russian president.
In that case, their lives will be worth no more than this piece of paper, ” added the deputy head of the Russian Security Council.
As reported, in March last year, the ICC, whose jurisdiction the Russian Federation does not recognize, issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president and children's ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova on charges of illegally deporting children from Ukraine.
