President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) stated this Monday (4) that the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, will be invited to the G20 summit, which will take place next year in Rio de Janeiro.
However, the Brazilian head of state warned that the Russian will have to “assess the consequences” of coming to the country, since Brazil is a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and has responsibilities.
“If Putin comes to the G20 meeting in Brazil, he knows what could happen,” pondered Lula at a press conference in Berlin alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant in March for Putin, accusing him of being responsible for a war crime for illegally deporting at least 100 children from Ukraine after Russia invaded the neighboring country.
The measure obliges the court’s 123 member states to arrest Putin and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he sets foot on their territories.
