Ulaanbaatar: Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Mongolia on an official visit. Mongolia is a neighboring country of Russia. His visit is taking place on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of Soviet-Mongolian troops over the Japanese army. Putin reached Mongolia’s capital Ulaanbaatar on Monday evening, which was earlier known as Ulaanbaatar. As soon as Putin reached Mongolia, the issue of his arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court has started being discussed again. Mongolia is a member of the International Criminal Court.
What will Putin do in Mongolia?
Russian media Sputnik reported that President Vladimir Putin will discuss furthering bilateral relations, including the Russia-Mongolia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This is also Putin’s first visit to Mongolia since 2019. During this time also Putin had reached Mongolia to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Khalkhin-Gol war.
Arrest warrant against Putin
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin in March this year. The ICC believes that there is sufficient evidence to accuse President Putin of war crimes in Ukraine. The ICC has alleged in its statement that hundreds of Ukrainian children have been brought to Russia from orphanages and children’s homes so that families living in Russia can adopt them. However, Russia has rejected these allegations and has questioned the legitimacy of the ICC itself.
Will Putin face a case?
Putin is the President of the world’s second most powerful country. There is no possibility that Russia will obey the orders of the International Criminal Court even a bit. Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. In such a situation, there is no question of Putin’s arrest inside Russia. In such a situation, there is no point in conducting a trial in Putin’s absence.
