Putin will not attend South Africa summit – where he faced risk of arrest
Vladimir Putin will not attend a summit in South Africa next month – allowing the hosts to avoid a decision whether or not to arrest the Russian leader thanks to an international warrant over war crime allegations.

As a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC) which issued the warrant, South Africa would be expected to detain Mr Putin once he sets foot in the country. Although it has refused to honor that obligation in the past, allowing safe passage to Sudan's then-President Omar al-Bashir in 2015 who was facing allegations of war crimes against his own people.

Russian president to call into summit next month via video call, with South Africa obliged to enforce warrant over alleged war crimes as member of International Criminal Court

They're sending Sergey Lavrov instead. lol

They should send one of the body doubles instead, when they try to arrest him he can say they got the wrong Putin.

1. You need the border crossing going through Dzhankoy to Melitopol from Crimea.
2. Refuel your car, withdraw cash. Buy plenty of drinking water.
3. Remember that you are entering the regions where there are hostilities in the north and martial law has been imposed in the regions themselves.
4. Do not stop in unequipped places if possible. Stop at gas stations and in towns.
5. Gas stations are located every 50-100 km. Many of them accept cards. You can have a snack.
6. On the way you will meet military checkpoints. Do everything that the servicemen say. Do not be rude, do not push for your rights. At most you will be asked to show your documents and show your bags.
7. Always keep your documents close to you.
8. A perfectly smooth new road has been built from Crimea to Rostov region.
9. In Melitopol in the city center you can have a delicious lunch and withdraw money.
10. Your way lies through Melitopol, bypassing Berdyansk, then Mariupol and Taganrog. It is 400 km (5-6 hours drive).
11. Download offline maps, in case the connection is lost, select manually in the section "settings - cellular communication".
12. Pass military and vehicles with V and Z symbols.
13. Do not drive at night.
14. Insurance policies are not valid there.
15. The road is safe, but vigilance must be maintained at all times.
16. Do not stop outside checkpoints and rest areas.
17. Medical assistance can be sought from the military and police.
18. Do not go into fields and forests. Do not take pictures of Russian army vehicles and soldiers.
19. Be polite and calm. Everything is built on mutual respect and patience in the special military operation zone."

I personally would have trouble with no 19.

Probably just a war of words, even if Putin got arrested in South Africa I don't see Russia attacking one of their last remaining supporters in the world.

Yep, Putin big mad.

"The Pentagon announced $1.3 billion in military aid to Ukraine."


"China has been the largest buyer of agricultural products that have been moving through the grain corridor.

In yesterday's strike, Russia destroyed 60,000 tons of agricultural products that were destined for China."

Maybe China losing the cheap food will push it into hammering Russia to get out of Ukraine, for now.
