“Putin” entered Mongolia + video – Mehr News agency RCO News Agency
According to the Mehr News Agency, quoted by Ryanovsti News Agency, Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has now arrived in Mongolia for an official visit.
The President of Russia was welcomed by the honor guard upon his arrival in Mongolia.
According to this media, the visit of the Russian president is considered controversial in the situation where Ukraine wants to arrest him.
Kyiv had previously asked the Mongolian authorities to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Mongolia, citing the International Criminal Court’s verdict.
In March last year, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the President of Russia, accusing him of war crimes and the illegal migration of hundreds of Ukrainian children from this country and their transfer to Russia. The Kremlin has strongly denied these accusations and called them politically motivated.
This ruling obliges the 124 members of this court, including Mongolia, to arrest Putin and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he enters the territory of these countries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine announced in a statement: We ask the Mongolian authorities to arrest Putin in accordance with the international arrest warrant.
However, when asked if Moscow is not worried about Mongolia’s membership in the International Criminal Court, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: No. There is nothing to worry about. We have wonderful relations with our friends in Mongolia.
