Putin News Today | Why Has Mongolia Refused To Arrest Putin Despite An ICC Warrant? | Russia | N18G

Russian President Vladimir Putin received a red-carpet welcome to Mongolia, as the country ignored calls to arrest him on an international warrant for alleged war crimes stemming from Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. The trip was Putin’s first to a member nation of the International Criminal Court since it issued the warrant in March 2023. Ahead of his visit, Ukraine urged Mongolia to hand Putin over to the court in The Hague, and the European Union expressed concern that Mongolia might not execute the warrant. The warrant put the Mongolian government in a difficult position. After decades under communism with close ties to the Soviet Union, it transitioned to democracy in the 1990s and built relations with the United States, Japan and other new partners. But the landlocked country remains economically dependent on its two much larger and more powerful neighbors, Russia and China.

Mongolia did the right thing in not arresting Putin during his visit. ICC warrant or not, if I was the president of Mongolia and my Russian neighbor who has the world's largest nuclear arsenal and the 3rd most powerful military and an important trade partner, decided to visit Mongolia on a whim, I will roll out the red carpet and ignore the ICC warrant altogether. Cause as the president of Mongolia, one of my primary duties is too ensure the safety and peace of my people and if it implies ignoring the service of a Warrant of Arrest of the ICC and the scorn of many countries, I and my people will live with it. After all, those countries calling for the arrest of Putin does not have Russia as a next door neighbor.
