US remains a rare safe haven for Vladimir Putin
Synopsis To prevent the world's highest criminal court from being used to prosecute Americans, the US has long refused to join the ICC, created over 20 years ago under the 1998 Rome Statute to handle accusations of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. As a result, the US is virtually the only country in the West that Putin can visit without worrying about arrest. Only a handful of other major powers, including China, India, Russia and Israel, have abstained from becoming signatories to the court. PTI Vladimir Putin ANCHORAGE: When the International Criminal Court accused President Vladimir Putin of Russia of war crimes in 2023 and issued a warrant for his arrest, the move was largely symbolic because there was little chance he would stand trial. But it immediately jeopardised Putin's ability to travel to the more than 120 countries that have signed on to the ICC. They include almost every nation in Europe and dozens more in Africa, Asia and Latin America. They are all legally required to arrest Putin and send him to The Hague if he sets foot on their soil. But Putin's visit to Alaska highlighted a notable exception.

Trump backs Putin plan for Russia to take full control of Donbas, freeze frontline in Ukraine: Report
WARSAW: US President Donald Trump backs a Russian proposal for Moscow to take full control of two Ukrainian regions and freeze the front line in two others which Moscow only partially controls, a source told AFP. The source with knowledge of the matter said Russian President Vladimir Putin "de facto demands that Ukraine leave Donbas", an area consisting of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in eastern Ukraine. "Trump is inclined to support it," the source said. Trump on Saturday spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders about his talks Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The Ukrainian president refused to leave Donbas," the source said. Zelensky has rejected any territorial concessions, saying he is bound by Ukraine's constitution. But he has not ruled out discussing the issue at a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin. The New York Times also cited two senior European officials saying Trump supported Putin's plan "to end the war in Ukraine by ceding unconquered territory to the Russian invaders, rather than try for a ceasefire".
