German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the warrant for the arrest of president-dictator

Vladimir Putin 

shows that no one can stand above the law. 

Scholz said this at a press conference in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Sky News reports. 

"The International Criminal Court is a suitable institution for investigating war crimes. The fact is that no one can be above the law, and this is becoming obvious right now," said Olaf Scholz.

By the way, the chancellor welcomed the decision of the International Criminal Court to arrest the dictator of the Russian Federation.

Putin's arrest warrant 

The International Criminal Court

has issued arrest warrants for the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin,

and the Russian Commissioner for Children, Maria Lvova-Belova.

We are talking about crimes committed in the occupied territories of Ukraine - the illegal deportation of children to the Russian Federation. 

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria

Zakharova said that this body "has no authority" on the territory of Russia.

 After all, according to her, "Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and bears no obligations towards it. Russia does not cooperate with this body."

Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine

, said that the warrant means the beginning of the end of the Russian Federation

 in its current form on the world stage.

The Kremlin dictator can be arrested on the territory of countries that have ratified the Rome Statute.
