Spokeswoman for Russia’s Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova took to Telegram yesterday to expose London’s crude manipulations of the International Criminal Court (ICC), in their shocking indictment of Russian President Vladimir Putin. As a reminder, the ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan actually took the actions of Russia’s Children Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova in organizing care and support in Russia for orphans of the Donbass and re-defined that as kidnapping and brainwashing.
Zakharova wrote that the United Kingdom had destroyed the reputation of the ICC in bribing and pressuring the war crimes charges against Putin. She began: “I love random coincidences in geopolitics. They have a certain kind of flair, just like Agatha Christie.” However, the author of the ICC narrative, while also British, was inferior to Christie as an author—"judging by everything, a rookie one.”
Zakharova recounted the “random coincidences.” First, on February 21, 2023 (notably, in the heat of the anti-Russian buildup for the anniversary of the February 24, 2022 invasion), the “Anglo lobby” took control of the court, by replacing the Congolese Judge Antoine Kesia-Mbe Mindua with Costa Rica’s Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez, notably a graduate of Oxford. Then, as related by RT, on the same day the British authorities released from prison the brother of the ICC Chief Prosecutor, Imran Ahmad Khan. He was a disgraced former Member of Parliament convicted of pedophilia, who had been denied parole earlier, and had served less than half of his sentence.
