Putin's arrest warrant in the Hague: China requires the ISS "respect the President's immunity"
The Hague Court is obliged to take an objective and impartial position and respect the immunity of the presidents in accordance with international law, Chinese diplomat said. Venbin touched the issue of a full -scale war in Ukraine, which, in his opinion, can only be resolved in dialogue and negotiations. Such a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China made on the day of President Si Jinping to Moscow and his future meeting with Russian colleague Vladimir Putin.
It should be emphasized that China, Russia and the United States have not ratified the so -called Roman ICS Statute, so they do not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Analysts believe that Si Jinping's actions will not reconcile between Russia and Ukraine, but they will closely closely monitor his trip in the western capitals. The Kremlin is calm of the Putin arrest warrant, said a spokesman for President Dmitry Peskov at a briefing on March 20.
"We see so many frankly hostile manifestations about our country and our president in the world. We record it, but if every hostile manifestation is taken close to the heart, nothing good will work," Peskov said. Moscow is treated calmly and fixes everything carefully, he emphasized. "We continue to work. The main thing is to work," Peskov said.
The meeting gives Putin and these a chance to show that they have "powerful partners" in a period of tense relations with Washington, said the Associated Press from Chinese-Russian relations of American university in Washington Joseph Tagian. "China may make it clear that it will do even more to help Russia. And if relations with the United States continue to deteriorate, they could help Russia in its war with Ukraine," he said.
Some experts draw parallels between Russia's territorial claims in Ukraine with Beijing ambitions in Taiwan. The trip to Moscow was after an unexpected announcement of the diplomatic thaw between Iran and Saudi Arabia after meeting in Beijing, it was a propaganda coup for the government of Xi Jinping, journalists said. "Xi wants him to be perceived as a world figure who plays a constructive role, talking about peace. These are unlikely to press Putin to stop war.
