💬 #Zakharova: The West describes Russia’s efforts to rescue children from war-torn areas as "abduction." Meanwhile, Russia is making every effort not only to rescue the children from Ukrainian shelling, but also to reunite the separated families.
@mfa_russia Putin and Lvova-Belova are wanted for the unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia. These are war crimes under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute.
@mfa_russia @RussianEmbassy I hope western countries can understand the importance of children and the loving nature of the family.
@mfa_russia The war torn region that Russia created.
@mfa_russia So rescue is against a free will!????
@mfa_russia The ICC was established in 2002, the year after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US. 2,977 people were killed in that attack. Would the ICC have found it to be a criminal act? I doubt it.
