"A NATO country has issued Vladimir Putin a warning that they "cannot guarantee" him safe passage and his aircraft will be bought "down." The Russian dictator is expected to meet with the US President in Hungary in the coming weeks to discuss a possible peace deal, which was instigated by Putin when it looked likely Ukraine could receive Tomahawks to attack Russian military sites deep inside the country."
"In September 2023 the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Putin, they then opened a field office in Kyiv in response to the war crimes committed by the Kremlin's forces. Should Putin set foot in any of the 123 member states they must have Putin arrested and taken to the Hague to stand trial, Hungary is no longer a member of the ICC."
"Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told Radio Rodzina, "I cannot guarantee that an independent Polish court won't order the government to escort such an aircraft down to hand the suspect to the court in The Hague. "And, therefore, if this summit is to take place, hopefully with the participation of the victim of the aggression, the aircraft will use a different route.""
Poland warned it cannot guarantee Vladimir Putin safe passage and said an independent court could order the government to escort or forcibly land his aircraft for transfer to The Hague. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin in September 2023 and opened a field office in Kyiv over alleged Kremlin war crimes; ICC member states must arrest him if he enters their territory. Hungary is not an ICC member, and Bulgaria offered a safe overflight. Putin is expected to meet the US President in Hungary to pursue a potential peace deal amid concerns over territorial concessions and US–Ukraine negotiations.
