MOSCOW, March 19 Grigory Karasin, head of the international committee of the Federation Council, wrote in his Telegram channel that one should not pay too much attention to the decision of the ICC structures, whose jurisdiction Russia does not recognize, that issued an «arrest» warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin, noting that this is a psychological attack aimed at the morale of Russian society.
The Pre-trial Chamber of the ICC, whose jurisdiction Russia does not recognize, on March 17 issued a warrant for the «arrest» of Putin and children's ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova. The press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that the very raising of the question of the decision of the ICC is unacceptable, Moscow does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court, and any of its decisions are null and void from the point of view of law.

"I consider it unnecessary to continue detailed comments on the conclusions of a certain ICC. One way or another, this becomes an advertisement for an absurd and hostile action by the West,” the politician wrote.
According to Karasin, it is obvious that “this is a psychological attack aimed at the morale of Russian society.”
