International Criminal Court is a ‘legal nonentity’ and its warrant against Vladimir Putin is ‘meaningless’, says former Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev

Former president Dmitry Medvedev told Russian media that the ICC, which countries including Russia, China and the US do not recognise, was a “legal nonentity” that had never done anything significant. “What would that be? It would be a declaration of war on the Russian Federation,” he said in a video posted on Telegram. “And in that case, all our assets — all our missiles et cetera — would fly to the Bundestag, to the chancellor’s office.”
“Every day’s delivery of foreign weapons to Ukraine brings closer the nuclear apocalypse,” Medvedev said. The West now wanted to crack Russia apart into a host of weaker states and steal its vast natural resources, he added.
