Lula changed her tune again?, Just finished saying Putin "won't be arrested"
According to Agence France Presse, Brazilian President Lula withdrew his guarantee on September 11th that Russian President Putin will not be arrested when he attends the G20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro next year, stating that the matter should be decided by the judiciary.
According to reports, Putin did not attend the G20 summit held in the Indian capital New Delhi this year, thus avoiding potential political criticism or risks arising from an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court.
The report pointed out that Brazil is a signatory to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and Lula's statement on the 9th that Putin will not be arrested for attending the G20 summit in Brazil next year is surprising.
According to the report, Lula told reporters on the 11th, "I don't know if the Brazilian judiciary will arrest him. It's up to the judiciary, not the government, to decide."
According to reports, on March 17th, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants to Putin and the Russian President's Plenipotentiary for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova Belova, accusing them of "illegally expelling" Ukrainian children.
The Kremlin denies the accusations made by the International Criminal Court and claims that the arrest warrant against Putin is invalid.
According to reports, Lula also raised questions about Brazil's accession to the International Criminal Court. He said, "Emerging countries often sign things that will harm them.".
Lula said, "I'm not saying we're withdrawing from the International Criminal Court, I just want to know why Brazil is a contracting party."
