Kremlin reveals how Putin will take part in BRICS summit
The Russian president will attend remotely, while Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will represent Russia in person Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the upcoming BRICS summit in Brazil via video link, according to his foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov. This year's event, which will be the trade and development group's 17th annual summit, is set to take place in Rio de Janeiro in July. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be representing the country at the summit, Ushakov told Vesti in an interview on Wednesday. Putin will not travel to Brazil due to unresolved issues concerning an arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the presidential aide said. "The president will participate via video link. This is related to difficulties related to the requirements of the ICC," Ushakov said. "The Brazilian government could not take a clear position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting." In 2023, the Hague-based institution's top prosecutor, Karim Khan, issued arrest warrants for Russia's president, as well as Russian children's rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova, on charges of unlawful deportation and transfer of minors during the Ukraine conflict. Moscow has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, explaining that it evacuated the children out of the war zone for their own safety. Moscow is in the process of compiling a list of children currently in Ukraine who need to be reunited with their families in Russia, Lvova-Belova said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last week. The list will be passed on to Kiev's negotiating team at the next round of direct talks, she said. Furthermore, five of the 339 children Kiev demanded be sent back to Ukraine during the last round of negotiations in Istanbul are being prepared for return, Lvova-Belova said. Russia is not a signatory to the ICC's founding treaty and does not recognize its jurisdiction. Other non-signatories include the US, China, and Israel. US President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on the judicial body and its top prosecutor in February for issuing arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Khan accused both of war crimes committed during the Gaza conflict, along with three Hamas leaders.

Putin will not go to Brics summit in Brazil due to ICC arrest warrant, Kremlin aide says
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not travel to next week's Brics summit in Brazil because of an outstanding arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC), Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday. The ICC issued the warrant in 2023, just over a year after Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, accusing Putin of the war crime of deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. Russia denies allegations of war crimes and the Kremlin, which did not sign the ICC's founding treaty, has dismissed the warrant as null and void. But it means that Putin needs to weigh the risk he might be arrested if he travels to another country that is a signatory to the ICC treaty. In 2023 he decided against travelling to one such country, South Africa, for a Brics summit. But last year he was given a red-carpet welcome in Mongolia, even though it is an ICC member state. Ushakov said Putin would take part via video link in the July 6-7 Brics summit in Brazil. 'This is due to certain difficulties, in the context of the ICC requirement. In that context, the Brazilian government could not take a clear position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting,' Ushakov said. Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov will travel to the summit to represent Russia. According to media reports, Chinese President Xi Jinping will skip the summit.

Russia, China condemn Israel's actions that violate UN charter, says Kremlin aide
Yuri Ushakov - File picture, Reuters MOSCOW (BERNAMA-SPUTNIK/RIA NOVOSTI): Russia and China adhere to identical approaches, and both condemn Israel's actions that violate the United Nations Charter, Sputnik/RIA Novosti reported, citing Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov on Thursday (June 19). "Both sides adhere to identical approaches and strongly condemn Israel's actions that violate the UN Charter and other norms of national law," Ushakov told reporters after a phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping that took place earlier in the day. Xi told Putin that he believes that Russia's mediation efforts in the conflict between Iran and Israel will contribute to the de-escalation "in the current most important situation," the Kremlin aide added. "The conversation was mainly devoted to discussing the escalated situation in the Middle East... Both Moscow and Beijing fundamentally believe that there is no military solution to the current situation and issues related to the Iranian nuclear programme," he also said. - Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti
