Putin arrest warrant heralds catastrophic consequences for his regime 

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

"We still don't fully understand the recent event of the International Court of Justice issuing a warrant for Putin's arrest, and its consequences are yet to be seen. It is safe to say that the outcome for Putin will be catastrophic. While legal consequences are not significant at the moment, as no one is arresting Putin, the decision has a deeper meaning for Russia, given their historical "March troubles," explained Scherbak.

The diplomat emphasized that March could be fatal for Russia. 

"March has historically been a fateful month for Russia. Ivan the Terrible died in March. Paul I was assassinated in March, and Nicholas I also died in March. Therefore, we can argue that Putin has received a death sentence. Putin, as a political and legal figure, is now deceased. This decision to arrest Putin has turned him into a political corpse," the speaker added.

• On March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and Russian Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova.

• Representatives of various states and international organizations reacted to this decision. Later, they were joined by representatives of Great Britain and Canada, who unequivocally supported the position of the court.

• US President Joe Biden said that the warrant for Putin's arrest is justified because the Russian president has committed war crimes.
