Austrian Minister of State for the Constitution and the European Union Edtstadler told the German daily Tagesspiegel “Austria will comply with its obligations under international and criminal law. I was once a criminal court judge. The fact that the ICC has ordered this international arrest means that he (Putin) should be detained if he sets foot on Austrian soil.” used the phrases. The International Criminal Court, which does not recognize Russia’s jurisdiction, announced on March 17 that an arrest warrant had been issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s Child Rights Commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, for allegedly committing war crimes in Ukraine.

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitriy Peskov described the ICC’s decision as disgraceful and unacceptable, stating that it had no legal validity for Russia.
