The ICC issued an arrest warrant on Friday, accusing Putin of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. It said there are reasonable grounds to believe that Putin bears individual criminal responsibility.
"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." Nuclear risks had risen, he said. "Every day's delivery of foreign weapons to Ukraine brings closer the nuclear apocalypse."
He said the West now wanted to crack Russia apart into a host of weaker states and steal its vast natural resources.

Senegal's Opposition Leader Alleges Assassination AttemptAs protests flare, opposition leader Ousmane Sonko hs said he survived an assassination attempt during his appearance at a politically charged trial that sparked unrest. Violence erupted in several cities since the opposition leader's trial opened on March 16, 2023, and more than 400 people were arrested, according to El Hadji Malick Ndiaye, head of communications for Sonko's Pastef party. Sonko is being tried for allegedly defaming Tourism Minister Mame Mbaye Niang, a member of President Sall's party. Convictions in either the defamation trial, which has been postponed until March 30, or a separate 2021 rape case that has not gone to court, could prevent Sonko from contesting the 2024 election.
