How South Africa looks for a loophole for Putin – Politics

He comes? Or is he not coming? It is still completely open whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to South Africa at the end of August to take part in the meeting of the Brics countries. But in the host country on the Cape, nervousness is currently increasing noticeably. The International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against the Russian president in March for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. As a state party to the ICC, South Africa should actually arrest Putin as soon as he enters the country. But that’s exactly what the government in Pretoria doesn’t want under any circumstances.
