I think the main purpose of this ICC warrant was an attempt to disrupt Xi's visit to Moscow, and when this failed, everyone somehow quickly forgot about the warrant, as if it did not exist at all.

Well that's some brain gymnastics right there. Why would it disrupt Xi's visit? Xi isn't really a price winning human rights activist either as they don't even recognize Dutch extradition treaty.
It sounds like you are just undermining the legitimacy of the warrant. And yeah, warrant exist, you would know this if you just looked it up, why do you think it's forgotten? Don't tell me, because he isn't arrested?
Nah, that would be a stupid answer.
https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-issuance-arrest-warrants-against-president-vladimir-putinRussia has not ratified the Rome Statute, so for Russian citizens this warrant is a legally insignificant piece of paper. It happens, the USA, Ukraine, China and many other countries have not ratified the Rome Statute either. Moreover, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the incumbent president cannot be held criminally liable. And also in accordance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons (Adopted by resolution 3166 (XXVIII) of the UN General Assembly of December 14, 1973), heads of state enjoy absolute immunity. It sounds like you are just undermining the legitimacy of this Convention.
There must be thousands if not tens of thousands of "Khan" living in the UK, including, guess who? ... The current major of London, Sadiq Khan. I personally know a couple of "Khan" in my own country. It is a common name from certain region of Iran.
Now, could anyone point to any indication that this could be used, particularly since it is known and judged, to blackmail and that there is any close link between these people?
Khan, which is more popular as a surname, is a Turkish boy's name meaning "prince," so get ready to give your son the royal treatment. Khan is a shorter form of Khagan, and was originally a historic title given to military chiefs and rulers.
Apparently my English is not that good, but I did not catch the connection between what you quoted and the content of your answer. Please rephrase if you would like a more meaningful answer.
On the "useless piece of paper"... well, your argument is plainly stupid, including a deep lack of understanding of how international law works. Of course Putin will not get arrested while in Russia, China, etc... and of course your "constitution" can give him the right to but-fuck cows in public without any consequence. You do not seem to get the real problem here: Most of the government of Putin including himself are banned from international diplomacy in many countries that do accept this sentence. Another of the great achievements of your horse loving gay hating septuagenarian idol
Do not worry about it. For foreign diplomacy Russia has a foreign minister. Also, modern technologies make it possible to replace face-to-face meetings with videoconferencing or phone calls where necessary. You can also keep your wet erotic fantasies about gays, cows and horses to yourself.
Russia wanted and still wants relatively little from Ukraine - a neutral non-bloc status and stop killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas, which it has been doing for the past eight years.
Do you still believe that ''genocide'' and neutral status of Ukraine is the reason of invasion.
Yep.
Throw nazi here and there and at the same time "RF wants very little from Ukraine"... such a cynicism at this stage of the war is ridiculous. That is the true Nazi in you, imposing violently on others (from a safe distance of course, you are also a "chairborne soldier") just because the RF wants this and that...
And all covered in more lies... the RF wants nothing, it is Putin's court of psychos.
Breathe deeply, you are excited.
Few days ago I posted that Russians complaining that Ukrainians is already on the left bank of Dnipro river ner to Kherson. Then it looked more like fake, but seems that's something is really going on here:
https://t.me/Donbas_Operativniy/36321There is a swamp with no possibility of organizing a crossing for tanks and armored vehicles. The activity of small sabotage groups in this area does not personally bother me too much, but if this serves as a source of cheer for you, I will not disappoint you.
In general, regarding the Ukrainian offensive, whose timing is constantly shifting, I can say the following. It seems that the "Bakhmut meat grinder" operation inflicted a critical level of damage on Ukraine at the level of junior officers with real combat experience. And the offensive potential of Russia now looks much higher than the offensive potential of Ukraine.
