As Ukrinform reported, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin met with his Mongian counterpart in Ulaanbaatar on Tuesday. This is Putin's first visit to a country that has ratified the Rome Statute and is to arrest the Russian leader on a warrant issued by the ICC in The Hague.

In March 2023, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant against Putin charged with the unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation;

The ICC declared that the country is under an obligation to comply with the Court requirements.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine condemned Mongia over failure to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin despite the ICC arrest warrant.
