Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday for his New Year’s greetings that the “moral and historical correctness” was “on the side” of Russia, in the midst of the offensive in Ukraine and crisis with the West.
Vladimir Putin, who was speaking alongside soldiers who fought in Ukraine and whom he had just decorated, according to the Kremlin, spoke of a past year full of “truly decisive and important events” that “lay the foundations (…) of our true independence”.
“That is why we are fighting today, protecting our people in our own historical territories, in the new constituent entities of Russia,” he added.
After launching a military offensive against Ukraine in February, Russia claimed in September the annexation of four Ukrainian territories that it controls at least partially, on the pattern of that of the Crimean peninsula in March 2014.
The Russian president also blasted “a real war of sanctions that has been declared on us” by the West. “Those who launched it expected the total destruction of our industry, our finances and our transportation. This did not happen,” he added.
He accused the Americans and Europeans “of cynically using Ukraine and its people to weaken and divide Russia.”
“The West was lying about peace and preparing for aggression. And today, it is not ashamed to admit it, in broad daylight,” said the Russian head of state.
Together we will overcome all difficulties and keep our country great and independent. We will go forward and prevail, for the sake of our families and for the sake of Russia,” he concluded.
Vladimir Putin also saluted the memory of former Pope Benedict XVI after his death, praising a “defender of traditional Christian values” of which the Russian president also wants to be the apostle. “Benedict XVI was an eminent religious and state personality, a convinced defender of traditional Christian values,” he wrote in a message of condolences to Pope Francis, released by the Kremlin.

War in Ukraine: the International Criminal Court will not let go of Vladimir Putin, the international arrest warrant remains valid for life
Reading Time: < 1 minutes
The arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC) for Russian President Vladimir Putin will remain valid even if Russia’s war against Ukraine ends.
“There is no statute of limitations on war crimes,” ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan told BBC Radio on Monday.
The latter highlights Vladimir Putin’s alleged responsibility for the war crimes committed in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country. The arrest warrants against the head of state and his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, will therefore remain hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives, he said. “Unless they appear before the independent judges of the court and the judges decide to drop the charges. »
The arrest warrants are essentially symbolic. A trial seems to be out of the question for the time being.
The British lawyer and chief prosecutor in the trial of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague told Sky News reporters that because of the arrest warrant for him, Vladimir Putin has become a wanted criminal. “This label will stick to him for the rest of his life, unless he is tried and acquitted or, which is almost unthinkable, the ICC withdraws the arrest warrant,” he explained. “The arrest warrant is a very, very important and encouraging step,” he said.
