I don't blame him for not wanting to travel. Airplane safety is a real concern these days.
Because he can't leave Russia without getting arrested or executed. As it should be.
Doesn't he trust his BRICS pal India to not arrest him or does he not want to threaten a "partner" with war again? What a fucking joke he is.
India would not arrest him, but they would do everything they can to avoid this situation, like refuse to allow Putin's plane to land. Which would then be Putin's fiasco.
With the collapse of the ruble are they even still one of the 20 largest economies? Putin has destroyed that country. It's crazy.
I bet he’s pretty nervous about getting in a plane ever since he sucker punched Wagner
I think it more has to do with being arrested and sent to the Hague
Has there ever been a case of a country's leader being sent to the Hague while they were still in power?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be going to the G20 summit in India in early September in person.
Such a visit is currently not on the calendar, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday in Moscow.
Peskov added that Putin had just attended a gathering of leaders from the BRICS group of emerging economies in South Africa by video link, not in person.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrests warrants in March for Putin and Russia's children commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova, accusing them of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine, which is a war crime.
Russia, which is not a member of the ICC, insists the warrant against Putin is "void".
However, the warrant means that the Russian president risks arrest if he travels abroad despite warnings that this might be considered an act of war by Moscow.
