Blimey!!! Now that’s really rolling out the Red carpet!!! Cheers
He is in Ukraine if officials are looking for him
Hope Putin likes Russia, because he isn’t traveling without an armed escort out of town anytime soon.
May be Trump and Putin could share an ankle bracelet in Helsinki hoosegow.
Lol I don’t think he’s too worried 😂😂
He went to Ukraine hours before you posted this lol. He only really ever goes to North Korea or China. He can still go there now as those two don’t care what NATO or the ICC has to say.
@John Freedman 1st time XI realizes he’d be a world hero, Putin’s toast.
Putin: “what do you mean we can’t kidnap children?”
@John Freedman China is not a member State of ICC. If is only if the Chinese commit war crimes on a territory of another country, which recognizes the authority of ICC, that its crimes could be referred to ICC.
@the sun rides on reindeer There are no reports of these kids being “abandoned” by Ukrainian families. Most of these children had their parents killed by Russian artillery and rocket fire, but they still had families they were denied the right to stay with. Soldiers just took them whenever they found them. Some were even taken from their parents. Kill the parents and take the kids is the vast majority of the situation here. How would you like this to happen to your family in your country???
@Oz n’ StuffYou are talking nonsense. Do you know what an orphanage is? This is an institution where children are brought up who have no parents or whose parents have abandoned or the children of whose parents have been deprived of the right to raise children because of antisocial behavior. These children were evacuated from the battlefields and sent to places where there were places for their comfortable accommodation and training. There were also children whose parents died. Perhaps these children had relatives, but it is impossible to look for them endangering children. Therefore, Russia did the right thing by placing the children in a safe place. Ukraine, on the other hand, left the children to the mercy of fate, and now it is creating a PR campaign.
List of countries that referred the case to the ICC:
Albania
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Bulgaria
Canada
Colombia
Costa Rica
Croatia
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Georgia
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Iceland
Ireland

Why Russia left the ICC?
I made a short video explaining here https://youtu.be/1eewQAmSbl8
Let me know what you think
@Hene Nkumbe All of South America is in it. That is the second largest amount of ICC members aside from Europe.
Interestingly, neither Irak not Afganistan nor USA are members. That means ear crimes committed by US on the territory of Irak of Afganistan could not possibly be referred to ICC. Ukraine, in the contrary, has admitted the jurisdiction of ICC on its territory. Therefore, it has the obligation to investigate alleged crimes there committed by anyone.
Do they actually think that Putin can get arrested?
@R136a1 how? ICC has no power in Russia. Russia is not an ICC member country
Circumcision probably yes, but arrest no….
@ComprehensiveWaterlily He saved the children from death and this is a fact, to be punished by saving the children is an honor! What loss of reputation are you talking about, he has only become more popular!
The irony of him walking in playground
lol😂. it’s propaganda. passing a message.
although I absolutely hate the USA role in fuelling the conflict
Sickening.
@kpain really when the truth comes out invader cannot be succeded.
He was looking for more children.
Dictatorships can not be tolerated in a modern world. One person can not be allowed to threaten the rest of world. The idea of a united nations was an important idea. Difficult, but essential for our survival. Agreeing not to acquire territory by force of arms must be the core value or we will be the cause of our own destruction.
WHAT ABOUT GEORGE BUSH?
Destruction is acceptable, instead of Cowardnes
@Mobolaji Awe US invaded due to Iraq invading Kuwait and later to remove Sadam Hussein. The US never annexed Iraq, unlike Russia. Get your facts straight before you flap your jaw.
What is the legal experts prediction of who is going to issue the warrant? Kamala Harris?😂😂😂
I hope the international media does their job and asks Xi at every single opportunity why he chose to meet with a person charged with war crimes involving children. We should never let Xi off the hook for this. We should communicate to him that this decision will follow him.
You don’t have to ask Xi here the answer both Russia and China didn’t recognise ICC….
they should put a high bounty on him too
Excellent 😎👨🏽✈️
Mahatma Gandhi once said “All through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall,always.” ❤️ 🇺🇦 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 ❤️
@Alejo Colombia Nope, we own you. Totally.
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
And watch the people’s heads aroll
Just like the pied Piper led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

@Morcheba One of their better songs.
@Tessmage Tessera this whole war is a 90s Slayer or Megadeth album
Offspring sent out to die
Living mandatory suicide
Peace sells maybe a bit on the nose
Need a speaker fitted to a drone and crank out the hits
@Morcheba Kinda like that scene in Apocalypse Now, when they blare out Wagner music from a fleet of choppers attacking a village.
Oh boy! Kim must be feeling lonely! He wanted in the “big boy meeting” too!😆
Smedely Butler’s honor guard. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ The Armistice of the “Dakota kid” and trench knife, the devil’s orphan black eyes, some say he has no “have a cigar store” sense of humor.
The teams who aim the rockets at civilians targets has to prosecuted also. It’s gonna be busy in Then Hague
#stoprussianaggression 💙💛
ICC has done a good job to issue arrest warrant for anyone who unilaterally invades another country.
But what about the countries who unilaterally invaded:
Afghanistan
Iraq
Libya
Where was the ICC at that time?
Where was the international law at that time?
How many children & civilians from these countries were killed?
(Washington, D.C., March 15, 2019) – The United States’ decision to apply visa bans to International Criminal Court (ICC) staff will undermine the possibility of justice for serious international crimes, Human Rights Watch said today. On March 15, 2019, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo announced that the bans will apply to ICC personnel involved in the potential investigation of US citizens and could be used to deter ICC investigations against citizens of US allied countries.
