Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan walk to attend a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Yerevan on October 1, 2019. AFPPIX: Vladimir Putin arrived in Kyrgyzstan Thursday, visiting abroad for the first time since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him in March.
He is due to meet his Kyrgyz counterpart Sadyr Japarov and to take part in a summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States with his Belarus ally Alexander Lukashenko and other regional leaders.This year, he has travelled only to Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, with his last foreign trips to Belarus and Kyrgyzstan last December -- a far cry from the busy international schedule he had earlier in his rule.
The ruling caused a legal headache for ICC member South Africa, which hosted the BRICS summit to which Putin was invited.“Why should I create some problems for our friends during an event?” Putin said this month, commenting on his absence from Johannesburg.Putin is wanted alongside his children's rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova for the war crime of allegedly unlawfully deporting thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia.The visit comes amid some rifts among Russia's allies.
His snub came after Armenian lawmakers moved to join the ICC, angering Moscow and potentially limiting Putin's travel options further.Moscow's Ukraine offensive has also rattled its Central Asian partners.
