Notice by the International Criminal Court that thing An arrest warrant has been issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin caused an uproar in Moscow. Even before the announcement, pro-regime propagandists express their concern about the possibility of being charged by the Hague court with war crimes. However, many people were completely caught off guard when allegations have been made publicbecause they clearly believe that this development can only happen if Russia lost the war in Ukraine.
Radio host Sergey Mardan said it was “strange” that the ICC decided to charge Putin with illegally deporting children and illegally transferring citizens from Ukraine to Russia, which are war crimes: “It seems to me that we are all bewildered. . I have a feeling that our entire system didn’t anticipate that they would make such a crazy and irreversible move,” he said.
His guest, Henry Sardaryan, Dean at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations complained that news of the ICC allegations has dominated Russian social media since the announcement was made public. .
Sardaryan suggested that Russia retaliate in a symmetrical manner, by initiating charges against US President Joe Biden. He said, “It’s ridiculous to accuse us of being a nation of war crimes… Why don’t we take the initiative to take the initiative to force the whole American society to debate for days. continuously whether or not Joseph Biden was arrested. Will he sit in the electric chair or spend the rest of his life in faraway places?”
“The only way left is to bring the special military operation to a logical conclusion and achieve all the goals set forth by the president,” Sardaryan said. They will then be forced to negotiate with us and the ICC, as an integral part of the global world order, will revoke the order and close the case very quickly.” He was forced to refer to Putin’s statement that has now become a propaganda cliché: “Nothing in the world is more important than our country. If our country didn’t exist, then no one would need this world—first, we don’t need it.”
Head of RT Margarita Simonyan responded to the ICC notice by implying that any country that captures Putin will face nuclear annihilation, even though this technically means that the “boss”, as Simonyan calls him, will burn with with the offending country. She reported long ago widespread concern about potential allegations of war crimes among top Russian officials.
appeared on Sunday night with Vladimir Solovyov, Simonyan said she was appalled by the ICC’s accusations, because Russia had merely “taken away children that no one wanted.” Simonyan added: “Hague sucks” and says the era of politeness is over. She went on to wish Donald Trump good luck on the potential charges he is anticipating.
Vladimir Solovyov called for immediate arrest warrants for all ICC judges, describing them as “assholes” and “degenerates” who should be banned by Russia’s intelligence services in the country. beyond hunt and capture. He demanded nuclear strikes against any country that might try to arrest Putin and added, “They should fear us!”
Former President Dmitry Medvedev chose the topic on Telegram on Monday morning, threatened the ICC with a hypersonic missile attack.
Alexander Bastrykin, head of Russia’s Investigative Committee, propose that Moscow established its own “international court” — the same idea many propagandists have experimented with on state television. Senator Andrei Klishas also call for an immediate arrest warrant for all judges of the International Criminal Court. On Monday, Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against the prosecutor and ICC judges.
Vice President of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Irina Yarovaya said that the ICC’s ruling constitutes an act of international terrorism directed against Russia and proposed introducing new legislation that would classify “Russophobia” as a dangerous crime.
Appear on channel Solovyov live“This is an extremely serious move,” noted political commentator Andrey Perla. This is a statement of intent to enslave Russia. Of course, in reality, Russia cannot be enslaved, because we will win this war. As these demands will continue to be voiced, they will spur the creation of not only an iron curtain but also a titanium wall between Europe and Russia – between the Anglo-Saxon world and the world ruled by the Anglo-Saxons. where free people live. Russia and China will be the leaders of the free world, as will all the independent nations that will cooperate with us—like Iran.”
appeared on Solovyov live, economist Mikhail Khazin expressed outrage at the ICC’s decision and argued that heads of state cannot be charged unless they are accused of genocide. Although many speakers on Russian state television share this opinion, presenter Vladimir Solovyov threatened before German Chancellor Olaf Scholz certainly faces “another Nuremberg court”.
Political commentator Yevgeny Satanovsky said: “I think that the arrest warrant for President Putin issued by the ICC in The Hague was initiated by the Americans. I’ve always understood that the current Western bosses and their entire team have gone completely crazy, but not to this extent!” He erupted in threats: “We’ve been to Berlin and Paris before. I understand that Hague is on his way to Paris. If things continue this way, we might as well visit Washington. President Biden enthusiastically endorsed the arrest warrant for President Putin issued by the ICC in The Hague.”
Confusion over the ICC charges hasn’t stopped Putin’s propagandists from bemoaning the current legal danger – not hypothetical – that Donald Trump could soon face in court. Trump’s Russian biographer Kirill Benediktov told host Sergey Mardan that Trump and Putin’s circumstances are similar, as neither has been charged with the most serious crimes. For example, instead of being accused of genocide, Putin was accused of “sending children to resorts”.
Benediktov noted: “There is a possibility that our Donald Fredovych Trump could be sentenced to death for the same kind of crime for which people were once released without bond. Of course, it was shocking.” quote Elon Musk’s TweetsThe host and his guest agree that “our redhead Donald Fredovych” could politically benefit from his imminent arrest in the long run.
