This morning, Poland’s neo-con Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski threatened that if Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plane flies through Polish airspace on its way to a summit meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest, Polish authorities might have to force it to land in Poland in order to execute the ICC arrest warrant against him.
“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,” Sikorski told Radio Rodzina, reported Reuters, which notes that the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant obligates the court’s member states to arrest Putin if he sets foot on their territory. “I think the Russian side is aware of this. 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,” Sikorski warned.
