The Russian president faces arrest if he travels abroad on a warrant accusing him of war crimes in Ukraine, issued by the International Criminal Court.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the G20 summit in India next month, the Kremlin has announced.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that travel is currently not on Putin’s agenda because he is concentrating on the special military operation, which is what the Kremlin calls Russia’s war against Ukraine.
But another issue is keeping him at home. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Putin accusing him of war crimes in Ukraine, something the Kremlin strongly denies.
This means he risks arrest when travelling abroad. Peskov did not mention the warrant in his comments.
Putin did not fly to Indonesia for the summit of the group’s summit last year. He also skipped attending the BRICS summit in South Africa this week and instead took part via video link.

Kant said the G20 wants growth but war has created “a huge implication in terms of economics” by bringing challenges regarding food, fuel and fertiliser.
“The war is not our creation,” Kant said. “Our challenge is to put developmental issues right in the forefront.”
I don’t care. I loathe this government and the people running this country into the ground.
You are not going to enlist good men to fight endless wars for Oligarchs anymore. No matter who’s the boogeyman being promoted.
I just cannot envision that “arresting” the leader of the largest nuclear power on earth would go unanswered. I mean answered with extreme prejudice. Basically, what would we do if some nation for example arrested ex-president Bush in some foreign country?
I think that would be a full-on declaration of war. The idiots are way out over the tips of their skis.
Putin’s hiding in his basement.
He’s not scared of being arrested. Who was going to arrest him in South Africa? It’s run by Poutine’s commie allies.
He scared of getting killed.
