Putin Will Not Go To BRICS Summit In Brazil Due To ICC Arrest Warrant: Kremlin by Botragelad(op): 2:59pm On Jun 25, 2025

MOSCOW, June 25 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin will not travel to next week's BRICS summit in Brazil because of an outstanding arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC), Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday.

The ICC issued the warrant in 2023, just over a year after Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, accusing Putin of the war crime of deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.

Russia denies allegations of war crimes and the Kremlin, which did not sign the ICC's founding treaty, has dismissed the warrant as null and void.
But it means that Putin needs to weigh the risk he might be arrested if he travels to another country that is a signatory to the ICC treaty.
In 2023 he decided against travelling to one such country, South Africa, for a BRICS summit. But last year he was given a red carpet welcome in Mongolia, even though it is an ICC member state.

Ushakov said Putin would take part via video link in the July 6-7 BRICS summit in Brazil.
"This is due to certain difficulties, in the context of the ICC requirement. In that context, the Brazilian government could not take a clear position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting," [/b]Ushakov said.

Russian Foreign Minister [b]Sergei Lavrov will travel to the summit to represent Russia. According to media reports, opens new tab, Chinese President Xi Jinping will skip the summit.

Hahaha.

While Ayatollah resides permanently in a hole, Putin cannot venture to a meeting of a group started by him. Maybe he also has the fear of Zelensky.

Fear too hold the man.

Hopefully they can all sort out these issues and let’s have some peace in the world.

For those who predicted a break out of world war three because of Israel and Iran, ya all failed woefully. Putin too will eventually come to his senses and let the Ukrainians have their peace.

Putin knows better than to play into the West’s games. Attendance isn’t about geography, it’s about impact. And Russia’s influence on the BRICS stage is undeniable whether he’s there in person or not.

Russia only have nuclear for deterrence they are not stupid to be the first to use it

If Russia want to use nuclear weapons they better make sure New York and Europe is destroyed because Moscow will follow in the counter attack. You think MAD is a joke

I have problem with the so-called global south trying to follow rules that the west themselves break at will. Netanyahu has been flying about without any western country making move to arrest him but if Putin visits an ally that's signatory, western media propaganda will set him on fire.

Madman Putin: beware of the sword of Damocles!

See the leader of a sovereign state now living like a fugitive.

While Zelensky is globetrotting, Madman Putin is holding up in Moscow unable to venture out except for one inconsequential country whose name one can hardly remember that granted him the rare privilege to do so.

Even South Africa couldn't guarantee him of his safety hence he had to stay back.

Na life naim Madman Putin dey live so?

If you read before you rushed to comment, you would have read it where Kremlin said, Brazil didn't give clear signal for him to come, if he risks it, he might not come back.
