The International Criminal Court last week issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president over war crimes in Ukraine.
if the opportunity arises, as Moscow rails against the measure and denies it's committing war crimes in Ukraine, despite mounting evidence.
On Wednesday, Berlin's top diplomat in Ukraine became the latest German figure to commit to the ICC warrant, which was issued last week over Russia's forced transfer of thousands of Ukrainian children to Russian territory since Moscow's full-scale invasion began last February. "If Putin shows up in German territory, he will be arrested for sure," Anka Feldhusen told journalists at a Media Center Ukraine briefing on Wednesday."That was confirmed yesterday by the minister of justice of Germany," she added. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has also expressed his backing for the warrant, telling reporters during last week's visit to Japan:"No one is above the law."," the ambassador said, referring to the agreement that underpins ICC authority.
Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a ceremony at the Kremlin in Moscow on March 22, 2023. He now faces being arrested in many countries around the world."I think that this arrest order is very timely, and the discussion is being more about the liability of Russia for the crime of aggression, for all the war crimes they committed," Feldhusen added."And we are working on it with our Ukrainian partners.
