Razvozhayev wrote that Putin allegedly came specifically for the opening of a children's art school in Khersones, which he was supposed to be shown via video conference.
The so-called "governor" also says that Putin "knows how to surprise" and allegedly came to Crimea personally by car.

- All member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are now legally bound to detain Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, now deemed a suspect, and hand him over to the court.
- The historic decision to issue the arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin must be followed by historical responsibility, said Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine.
