Ukraine Calls on Brazil to Arrest Putin at G20 Summit

Ukraine's Prosecutor General urges Brazil to uphold ICC warrant if Putin attends the November summit.

Ukraine's Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin has requested Brazil to arrest Vladimir Putin if he attends the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March 2023, accusing him of war crimes, including the deportation of Ukrainian children.
Russia has dismissed the ICC warrant as 'null and void' and denied all allegations of war crimes.
Brazilian authorities have extended a standard invitation to Putin for the November 18-19 summit but have not confirmed his attendance.
Kostin warns that failing to arrest Putin could set a dangerous precedent, allowing leaders accused of crimes to travel without consequence.
