Putin Defies ICC Arrest Warrant with Mongolia Visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Mongolia on Tuesday, defying an ICC arrest warrant. Ukraine accused Mongolia of 'sharing responsibility' for Putin's alleged war crimes. Despite protests, the Kremlin was unconcerned about Putin's arrest during the visit.
On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an official visit to Mongolia, marking his first trip to an International Criminal Court (ICC) member since the ICC issued a warrant for his arrest in 2022.
Putin arrived in Ulaanbaatar on Monday night and was welcomed by an honor guard.
His visit is seen as a challenge to the ICC, Kyiv, the West, and rights groups demanding his detention for allegedly deporting Ukrainian children illegally.
Ukraine condemned the visit, accusing Mongolia of 'sharing responsibility' for Putin’s actions.
Despite the ICC mandate for member states to arrest those sought by the court, Mongolia has not detained Putin.
The Kremlin expressed no concern over the potential for Putin's arrest during the visit.
Demonstrations opposing Putin took place in Ulaanbaatar, reflecting divided public opinion.
Amnesty International warned that Mongolia's failure to act could undermine the ICC's legitimacy.
