Amid ongoing discussions about global diplomatic events, it has been confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be attending the G20 summit scheduled to take place in India this coming September. The Kremlin made this announcement, indicating that Putin's participation will not be in person.

In a separate development, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken a significant step by issuing an arrest warrant for Putin, alleging his involvement in war crimes concerning Ukraine. However, it's important to note that the Kremlin vehemently refutes these allegations. Consequently, due to the arrest warrant, there is a potential risk of detention for Putin should he travel internationally.

In his speech aired on Tuesday, he expressed strong disapproval of what he termed "illegitimate sanctions" imposed on his nation and issued a warning about the potential of permanently halting Ukraine's grain exports.
