DISINFO: ICC arrest warrant proves the West wants to destroy Russia
SUMMARY
There is no need to discuss the absurdity of the accusations against Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova. It makes sense to discuss only one thing: now the West has openly said that it wants to deprive all of us of the country and freedom, to destroy our state.
RESPONSE
Recurring the pro-Kremlin narrative about the hostile West and Russophobia.
The arrest warrants are issued in the name of two people - Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, based on the evidence accumulated by prosecutors since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. „Pre-Trial Chamber II considered, based on the Prosecution’s applications of 22 February 2023, that there are reasonable grounds to believe that each suspect bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children”, is said in the statement of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The ICC is an independent court, not subject to any political influence, who investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. It acts based on an international treaty called the Rome Statute, ratified by 123 countries.
Se here a case claiming that the West supported anti-Russian elites in Ukraine to destroy Russia and here a case calling the war in Ukraine „a global conflict to destroy Russia”.
