After the arrest warrant: Russia threatens to attack the court

by time news

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened missiles at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The former Russian president warned the tribunal to “look closely at the sky”. President Biden called Putin’s arrest warrant “justified” and said he “clearly committed war crimes”

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, threatened last night (Monday) that the Kremlin could fire a hypersonic missile at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, after the court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin’s confidant who was also the President of Russia between 2008 For 2012, published the threats in a Telegram message.

“One can certainly imagine how a hypersonic missile was fired from a Russian warship in the North Sea, hitting the court building in The Hague. It is impossible to shoot down the missile, I’m afraid.” Medvedev also warned the judges to “look closely at the sky”, calling the court a “pathetic international organization”.

As you may recall, last Friday the court issued an arrest warrant against Putin, claiming that he is “responsible for the war crime of the illegal deportation of children and the illegal transfer of a child population from occupied areas in Ukraine to the Russian Federation.” Another order was also issued against Maria Alekseevna Lavoba-Balova, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation.

President Biden called Putin’s arrest warrant “justified” and said he had “clearly committed war crimes.” Russian officials rescinded the order, as Russia does not recognize it. Neither the US nor China are signatories to the 1998 Rome Convention, which established the court’s jurisdiction.

Earlier this month, Medvedev referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as the “chief Nazi”, despite the fact that Zelensky is Jewish. Last Friday, Medvedev called Senator Lindsey Graham harsh words after a Russian fighter jet collided with a US drone over the Black Sea.
