Mongolia ignores ICC demands to arrest Putin during state visit
Fox News
Russian President Vladimir Putin has commenced his state visit to Mongolia this week despite the nation's Rome Statute obligation to arrest the leader on an International Criminal Court warrant.
Putin's visit is ostensibly to celebrate the 1939 victory over Japan at the Battle of Khalkhin by Soviet-Mongolian forces. Timothy Nerozzi is a writer for Fox News Digital. You can follow him on Twitter @timothynerozzi and can email him at timothy.nerozzi@fox.com
Putin will be spending four days in Mongolia meeting with national leaders. The attention to Putin’s latest trip derives from the fact that Mongolia is a member of the ICC, which in March 2023, issued an arrest warrant for Putin over alleged involvement in the abduction of Ukrainian children.
