A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly impossible in countries that have ratified the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This was revealed by a source close to the Russian government, speaking to the Telegram channel “Nezygar.”

“Currently, it is not feasible to hold the summit in Serbia, Switzerland, or Austria. Europe is not being considered as a venue for the meeting at this time. Possible options remain Turkey and Kazakhstan,” the source stated.

The constraints arise from the ICC’s jurisdiction and the ongoing geopolitical complexities surrounding Russia’s relations with Western nations. As such, countries outside of the ICC’s framework are being explored as potential hosts for the summit.
