Might have been better if he took back that promise after Putin arrived.

(also, a jailed Russian president Capoeira'ing his way through a Brazilian prison would be an excellent concept for an action movie)

"I could really only promise you wouldn't be arrested by me. What do you think this is, some fucked up autocracy?"

An elderly ex-KGB dictator arrested somewhere and has to be transported to The Hague to get him to justice, but all his goons are pulling out all the stops to free him.

Could from be any number of action movie franchises.

"I promised with the same sincerity as Russia saying they would not invade Ukraine."
