South African Opposition Threatens to Arrest Putin's Allies.

South Africa's government is facing pressure to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he visits the country in August, following an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant over war crimes against Ukrainian children. However, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has so far failed to act, and his government has refrained from criticizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The opposition Democratic Alliance is considering legal action to force the issue, while the government is exploring the option of extending diplomatic immunity to visiting heads of state. The US has warned that those responsible for war crimes must be held accountable, and South Africa's relationship with Russia could impact its trade relations with the US.
