If Putin visited Germany he would be surrounded by his own armed security. Any attempt to arrest him would lead to a standoff that would immediately end in him leaving the country or risk a military confrontation that would almost certainly lead to WWIII.
Imagine the German chancellor, or US president were captured by Russian police, even if they justified it through some international organization they helped setup.
The headline and article should read “Putin is unable to visit Germany without making a geo political disaster.”
Unfortunately heads of nuclear states, and their inner circles, are truly above the law. The only way to enforce it, is to risk escalation.
Similarly, if Putin visit Germany, there's no practical way he may avoid arrest if there's enough desire for it.
We however may argue that there actually will be desire to ignore the international court requirements, as in practice Germany, USA etc. don't really always follow the law. In general we can't say for sure what's going to happen. E.g. escalation is going on since at least February 24th, 2022, so the risk isn't a good argument why this can't happen.
Invasion. It would lead to invasion.

I think this is ultimately the wrong way to prove that the headline is incorrect. Putin will almost certainly just never go to Germany to avoid testing how hard it would be to avoid arrest.
Why is there no similar ruling for Bush for Iraq and for Afghanistan? Oh wait, this the US, never mind they are the good guys.

I expect similar results for Putin.
Love that the source is Pravda though, puts a nice touch on it.
Very powerful forces want nuclear war. Better wear a hat!
