MOSCOW (Archyde.com) – Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday tried to arrest Putin after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against him for committing war crimes in Ukraine. He said it would be a declaration of war on Russia.

Medvedev has told domestic media that the ICC is a body without a legal basis and has not done anything important so far.

In a video posted to the telegram app Telegram, he said, “No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing can’t really happen, but let’s imagine. If the current head of a nuclear-armed state visits, say, Germany and is arrested. What will happen? This will be a declaration of war on the Russian Federation.”

“In this case, Russian missiles and everything else will fly to the Bundestag and the Chancellery,” he said.

He also said the risk of nuclear war is increasing. “Ukraine is getting more and more foreign weapons every day, and we are getting closer to the nuclear apocalypse,” he said.

He also acknowledged that the West wants to divide Russia and steal its abundant natural resources.
