The environment of the Russian leader is increasingly aware of the approaching geopolitical catastrophe in Russia.
After the decision of the International Criminal Court to issue a warrant for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the mood in the Kremlin turned gloomy. This was announced on Saturday, March 18, by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov, on the air of the national telethon.
According to Yusov, Russian propagandists do not comment on the news about the warrant for Putin’s arrest, as this could be “too much of a wake-up call.”
“Because to tell for more than a year that the so-called “special operation” is going according to plan, and then to receive a wanted list and an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, in this case it will be difficult even for Solovyov and Skabeeva to somehow connect these things with each other,” noted Yusov.
The GUR notes that dissatisfaction with the Russian president is growing within the walls of the Kremlin. If earlier it was said that with the direct participation of Putin they were looking for a successor to him, now his entourage is doing this without the participation of the President of the Russian Federation.
“The circle is narrowing around Putin. He is becoming more and more toxic both to the outside world and inside. Dissatisfaction with what is happening is growing in the Kremlin towers, an increasingly gloomy awareness of the prospects, namely the geopolitical catastrophe of the Putin regime. There is already talk of finding a successor to Putin , and it is no longer Putin who is looking for him,” Yusov summed up.
International Criminal Court in The Hague issues arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin
On March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin “in the context of the situation in Ukraine.”
Now Putin must be detained and brought to trial
On the same day, Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin said that the Russian leader now has the official status of a suspect in an international crime and outside the Russian Federation he should be detained and brought to trial.
In turn, on March 17, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia would never recognize the decision of the International Criminal Court. The Kremlin notes that the Russian Federation is not a signatory to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, therefore Russia does not bear any obligations in case of failure to comply with the instructions of this body.
We also recall that former judge of the International Criminal Court Vladimir Vasilenko said that the warrant obliges Vladimir Putin to appear in the Hague court to testify, but if he does not, Interpol will put the president on the international wanted list.
