Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the International Criminal Court (ICC) Sunday for issuing an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. The comments came the day before the Russian leader hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The ICC charged Putin with war crimes, although Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the court and is not likely to turn Putin over on the charges.
Nevertheless, Zelenskyy claimed the charges were a "turning point" in the war and show the international community is recognizing atrocities committed in the Russia-Ukraine war, which reached its one-year milestone last month.
"The evil state will be held accountable for every act of terror against Ukrainians," Zelenskyy said during a nightly address

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m sure Putin is shaking in his boots.
This guy, excuse me clown, has a reckoning coming from God.
There is no such thing as “international law”, and there is CERTAINLY no tribunal with the authority to proclaim or enforce it.
You know the ICC wanted to also put out arrest warrants on American?
Especially for Iraq?
And America told them THEY would be arrested.
That’s your clown world.
Pot, meet Kettle.
I’m not Putin fan, but this is a joke. No one is going to arrest the President of Russia and try him for war crimes.
What this *could* do is help support someone trying to overthrow him. Seize power and turn over Putin to be tried. If they actually arrested him that would probably start a nuclear war.
German Justice Minister Marco Bushman has said that he will execute an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin if he sets foot on German soil.
"I expect that the International Criminal Court in The Hague will swiftly approach Interpol as well as the contracting states and ask them for enforcement," Bushman told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper on Sunday.
According to Bushman, Germany would then be obliged to detain Putin if he enters German territory and hand him over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
This is stupid. Putin will never be held to account, neither will Biden or Zielinski.
I still say this is a stupid avoidable war with stupid prizes.
Remove US politician money laundering, and George Soros, and lots more people are alive.
And why would Putin go on German soil. This is just bluster. And if they actually did this...it would be extremely risky/dangerous move and set a very bad precedent.
Don’t like a leader, we can’t kill them...that’s illegal. But just get an arrest warrant and replace him.
There is too international law. It’s established via countries with most nations signing on to it. And when all the big players sign on..it becomes defacto international law for the smaller nations that didn’t agree.
The globalists are out for Trump and Putin at the same time!
Putin was in Mariupol a couple of days ago, why didn’t the Ukies arrest him?
When countries like Russia, China, India, the United States, Israel, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey don't actually recognize the ICC's jurisdiction (being non-Parties to the Rome Statute or those who haven't ratified it), I think it's safe to say that the ICC's jurisdiction is far from "de facto international law."
Zelensky is dreaming....Putin will no be held accountable anymore than the US or Ukraine will be.
Now go back and read what I was replying to. It wasn’t about the ICC’s jurisdiction...the person claimed there is no such thing as international law.
And don’t forget biden.
Neither the US, russia, or china recognize the ICC. Who’s going to arrest him? The faggot krauts?
There is a greater chance Trump will be arrested.
