Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, urged the Americans to restore their country. So, he reacted Former US President Donald Trump’s statement on the impending arrest on March 21.
“The scumbags in Europe wanted to arrest someone else, and they will arrest theirs in America on March 21. Take back your country, Americans! Make war! Destroy the Washington tyranny! Send a corrupt gang of crazy pig killers, the Bidens’ father and son, to the stinking dustbin of history! – Medvedev wrote in Telegram.
He noted on his channel that he shared a post at the request of “US presidential candidate Colonel Daniil Fedorovich Trump” and added the abbreviation MAGA – which means Make America Great Again (“Let’s Make America Great Again” – in English). This slogan during the 2016 election campaign.
When saying “they wanted to arrest someone else”, Medvedev was referring to the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 17, whose authority Moscow does not recognize.
On March 18, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said in an interview with CNN that he personally regretted and did not rejoice over the court’s arrest warrant.
“This shouldn’t give us a reason to celebrate. It’s a real regret that we have to do it. The evidence has moved us that way,” Khan said.
According to him, the court continues to investigate the situation in Ukraine, examines and analyzes all incoming charges and does not intend to stop once the arrest warrant is issued. However, the prosecutor noted that the ICC wanted to treat “conditions showing guilt equally with the possibility of acquittal”. He claims the court wants to “find the truth”.
The arrest warrant for Putin and Russian children’s ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova is linked to the case of the so-called “illegal deportation” of Ukrainian children to Russia. Kiev considers it a war crime, according to them about 300,000 children have been taken to Russian territory since the start of the special operation. The Ukrainian side claims that minors are subjected to “forced adoption, Russification” and that their personal data has been altered.
Moscow has repeatedly denied all these accusations and declared that the transfer of the children was a rescue operation. According to the Russian side, at least 700,000 children have been deported from the Donbass, Kharkiv, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions since the beginning of the armed conflict. In May last year, Putin made it easy for them to obtain Russian citizenship.
The Kremlin described the arrest warrant for the President of Russia as legally invalid and void, as Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. The same was reported in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Commenting on the arrest warrant, Lvova-Belova said that she was satisfied with this document only because it confirmed the veracity of the actions.
“It is wonderful that the international community appreciates the work done to help our country’s children, that we do not leave them in war zones, that we take them out, that we create good conditions for them, that we surround them with love. , caring for people,” said the Ombudsman.
Dmitry Medvedev supported the post on Twitter “No need to explain WHERE this paper should be used” with a toilet paper emoji.
First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Relations Vladimir Dzhabarov said that the Moscow Basmanny Court should issue an arrest warrant for all members of the “international tribunal in The Hague” for exacerbating the situation in the world. Unlawful provocative actions.”
The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to check that the ICC order for the arrest of Putin and Lvova-Belova was “illegally issued”. The head of the department promised to identify all judges who decided to issue an arrest warrant.
