An ICC warrant has been issued for this war criminal: MFA statement regarding Putin's visit to Turkmenistan.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine declares unwillingness to cooperate with Putin

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement regarding Vladimir Putin's planned visit to Turkmenistan on October 11 for an international forum dedicated to the 300th anniversary of Turkmen poet Magtymguly Pyragy.

"Ukraine hopes that the leadership of Turkmenistan realizes that Putin is a war criminal, for whom an arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court for the illegal forced transfer of Ukrainian children to the Russian Federation. This is just one of a series of crimes by the Kremlin leadership. Putin and his accomplices are responsible for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, murder, torture, rape, looting, shelling of civilian infrastructure, and other atrocities committed by Russian occupiers on Ukrainian territory. All of them must be brought to justice for the crimes committed against the Ukrainian people."

The foreign policy department reminded that Russian occupiers continue to carry out daily barbaric attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages, causing destruction of civilian infrastructure and the deaths of innocent people.

"We urge all countries that value human life, international law, and the UN Charter to refrain from holding joint events with Putin, who has unleashed a war in Europe on a scale unprecedented since World War II, and whose hands are elbow-deep in blood. We appeal to all states and international organizations to make the utmost efforts for the effective implementation of the Peace Formula as the only viable path to ending Russian aggression and restoring comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine and on the European continent."
