Context from the sources
Putin last attended a G20 summit in person in 2019, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. [1]
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin in 2023; the supplied excerpt says the warrant obliges member states to arrest him if he travels to their countries, while the court lacks its own enforcement power. [2]
