On Monday, the Kremlin claimed the ICC’s arrest order for President Vladimir Putin showed “obvious animosity” toward Russia and Putin.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, told reporters that Russia was reacting “calmly” and working.
“We are witnessing such a lot of blatantly hostile displays against our nation and against our president,” Peskov said at a daily press briefing.
“We notice them, but if we took them all to heart, nothing would happen. So, we remain quiet, observe, and work.”
The ICC’s arrest warrant for Putin and Russia’s children’s rights commissioner for the widespread abduction of Ukrainian children is ambiguous.
Russia is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, which underlies the court. Hence the warrant is unenforceable in Russia. But, the action might restrict Putin’s travel to the 123 nations that recognize the ICC.
Russia has taken hundreds of Ukrainian children since the commencement of a “special military operation” to safeguard them.
It denounced the ICC’s arrest warrant for Putin as “outrageous and unacceptable.”
