What type of fraudulent news is this? The Kremlin never said Putin isn't attending the Pope's funeral because of ICC or whatever. They only said he isn't attending the funeral.

Common sense should tell you that his country is at war, so it's illogical for him to keep flying everywhere while his men are on the battlefield.

But a more likely reason he isn't attending likely has to do with Russia being of the Orthodox Christian faith rather than Catholic.

Catholicism is a minor religion in Russia, and Orthodoxes and Catholics don't really flow together.
Oga keep quiet and stop spreading falsehood, he cannot attend because of the warrant, simple.

EDIT: unfortunately I have to adjust my opinion as I've just found out that even though the Vatican does not have an airport, they do enjoy a heliport. Also the Vatican are not signatories to the ICC which means legally, Putin can attend if he uses the heliport.

Anyway I still believe the shame of having the warrant against him is the main reason he will not travel.

That is to show you that Russia is a 3rd rate power. Even Isreali prime minster is under international arrest warrant and he travels everywhere. Even the Saudi Crown prince can go anywhere after butchering someone. Can you imagine someone trying to even arrest an American president or even ex president. Them no born you well. B 2 bomber go dey air, and A 10 warthog go straff una whole country.

Netanyahu can't travel everywhere.
I agree with this. Some European countries will be brave enough to arrest him and heaven won't fall.

Even Canada self will arrest him before he can finish saying Jack Robinson .....it's all about politics.

There are only 2 leaders nobody will want to offend no matter what warrant.... USA's president and China's Leader.

In a few years, India's prime minister will join them as an untouchable.

How life changes!! When I think of where India and China were when I was growing up....chai. And now a whole Russia cannot defeat a baby Ukraine after 3 years of war!!

One day ,one day, hopefully Nigeria will get to where it needs to be.

Do you think that anyone can actually arrest him? You are kidding, Russians will nuke the country. Understanding international diplomacy and politics is not for people like you. Stick with Nigerian tribal politics.

Even Mugabe with international ban attended the burial of Pope John Paul.

The late Pope was born in 1936 and died in 2025. How on earth is his age being reported as 87 by some media houses? I don’t think mathematics is that difficult—2025 minus 1936 equals 89. This means the late Pope was either 88 or 89 years old at the time of his death, depending on the month he was born.

he lost Putin's respect and frankly the respect of the world when he brought in nonsense LGBT rubbish into the catholic church.. saying gay marriages are allowed inside the church. How will Putin respect such a person? undecided
Stop writing trash because you never read that statement from him. Pope Francis never said this bullshit you just wrote.

The Afghanistan war took the US how many years again??

Oh I remember, 20 years. Did the US defeat the Taliban? No

And this is the poorest country in the world with no money or support from anyone like Ukraine. A bunch of goat herders with rusty AKs walking bare footed.

How much was wasted again? $4 Trillion. Before they finally fled in disgrace. We all watched it on television. It wasn't even that long ago.

Oh I forgot to add that the entire 30 NATO nations donated troops, money and weapons to help the US fight the poorest nation in the world.


The day you'll realize how weak the US is.... Is the day they fight a proper army with advanced weaponry like Ukraine. They've only fought rag tag militias throughout their entire history, and they haven't even won any.

In January 2022, Ukraine had the largest land and mechanized army in Europe, second only to Russia. The U.S/NATO armed Ukraine to the teeth for 10 solid years, Google it. Ukraine is also the largest country in Europe.

The Ukraine war is the bloodiest and most sophisticated war in history. US military leaders said so, not me.
