Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to visit Mongolia despite an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Putin's visit to Mongolia is significant because the country is a signatory to the Rome Statute, which governs the ICC's rules.
Ukraine has urged Mongolia to execute the arrest warrant, but the Kremlin is not concerned, citing Mongolia's membership in the China and Russia-dominated Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Despite the warrant, Putin has avoided visiting ICC member states.
During his visit to Mongolia, Putin will participate in celebrations marking the 85th anniversary of the Soviet and Mongolian armed forces' joint victory. Mongolia, a resource-rich country with a vast territory, has recently been visited by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Kremlin spokesperson has expressed confidence that there is no risk of arrest for Putin during his visit.
