« As long as Putin remains president, the tribunal will not be able to start a correspondence listening to his case. Such a process is possible only after he has left his position, » one of the European officials said.
According to Euronews sources, the same immunity will spread to Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Literally: « The trial of these high -ranking officials can only occur if they are physical presence in the courtroom. This is unlikely as Russia does not recognize the invasion of Ukraine by a crime and categorically refuses to cooperate with Western partners. »
