This also applies to support for the decisions of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin in March.

A new article number 284.3 should appear in the Criminal Code. It will cover "assistance in the implementation of decisions of international organizations in which Russia does not participate, as well as foreign government agencies on the criminal prosecution of officials, military personnel and volunteers who contribute to the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation."

The punishment includes a fine of $3000 to $120 or imprisonment for up to five years without the right to hold certain positions for the same period, reports “New Time ". Persons in whose actions there were no signs of crimes related to treason and espionage do not fall under the article.

Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and does not participate in its work. Moscow has not been a party to the Rome Statute, which determines the actions of the court, since 2016.

Putin can no longer travel to countries that have ratified the Rome Statute, and to countries that recognize the jurisdiction of the court (123 states). These are all the countries of Europe, all of South America (including such allies of Russia as Venezuela), Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Brazil, South Africa, the Central African Republic, Nigeria.

The Investigative Committee of Russia announced that it had opened a criminal case against the prosecutor and judges of the ICC.
