If it is the case (actually, now even the govt high position people are not allowed), why he left illegally, as I understand. Or perhaps, because he would not be allowed out into Russia, even for his kids? However, the Russians did let him in, did not hinder to approch his kids, did they? And did not hinder him to take them out of Russia, did they? I guess he thanked them a lot - you are welcome...

The ICC itself is an absurdity - beside the status of their jurisdiction - suffice to mention the outcome of their handling of a criminal case 4 years ago.

The UN security council has been existing for over 70 years or so. During this time (and currently either) there have been hundreds of wars waged worldwide while the wars participants had been in charge of the said council. Did I miss a case that it hadn't be the case?

Perhaps I have missed something but how the single father (the kids have no mother?) managed to escape from Ukraine to Russia while no man is allowed to leave the country and not be drafted? And to get his children near Moscow in OK, photographed with them on Red Square while in his area he was on a chase list? Not going back to fight for his country but travelling freely to another country? Enough means to undertake all this?

A simple and cheap alu sucking pole with adjustable length (ca. 4m) you can buy in Global House. Actually, I too had kept it left in the water for few years at the end of the pool. Later thinking why so stupid to get it slowly corroded when I can keep it above the water, as it's shown on the picture. It's ready to be prepared immediately for the vacuuming when shifted it in the water and the hose in the overflow channel over the edge as well.

We need to be told what to think about that, don't we? The Moscow's BBC Steve Rosenberg has been asking Putin at many occasions unpleasant questions (as can be seen on YT) - wondering whether he would be allowed that somewhere else? - but the answers he's got were also not very pleasant for him.

That's right. And his net was not only very wide but also reaching very high.

I tried yesterday to explain you something what is normal everywhere. I doubt that you have been commenting state visits in other countries. Trying to explain again: The visiting head of state is immediately greeted upon arrival by the host (or by a lesser official representative, if the two heads of state are to meet later at another location) and by his or her ambassador (or other head of mission) accredited to the host country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_visit That was the case yesterday. Can we stay with these facts without snubbing?

Wondering whether we get here some Jeffrey's apologists? ????

The Amnesty International issued last year a report that caused a huge outrage. For the outrage the head lady of AI had apologized, however, did not take back the report. Did you mean this report? Similarly the HRW. How the "The people" in Hague are independent can be viewed by the link of The Guardian 4 years ago - as it's here above, - they, by themselves, did want some kind of investigation. However, after they could not travel, no longer any investigation.

Did the people from The Hague go there and see that?

To the facts: Is there any independent body that has evidence proving the facts?

Perhaps, somebody should tell him - obviously he does not know yet... (in another thread somewhere I read: I think Putin will be headed for his palace for a long time. He'll just order food & drinks in ...)

*Removed post edited out* I think it would be quite difficult to explain it to you. But perhaps you can start to think by yourself: President of the state that did not allow the prosecutors of the ICC into the country 4 years ago - when they wanted to investigate - hails the decision of the same ICC today: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/18/biden-hails-decision-icc-arrest-warrant-against-putin Or did the ICC change the personnel?
