Ukraine has officially urged Mongolia to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin based on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant when he visits the country on September 3. This request aligns with Ukraine's efforts to hold Putin accountable for war crimes, specifically the illegal deportation of children from Ukraine.
Despite the ICC's arrest warrant and Ukraine's appeal, the Kremlin has expressed no concern over the possibility of Putin's arrest during his visit to Mongolia, an ICC member state. This situation underscores the tension between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the challenges faced by international legal institutions in enforcing warrants against sitting heads of state.
Mongolia has yet to respond publicly to Ukraine's request or indicate how it plans to address the ICC's expectations.
