Russian President Vladimir Putin, Defying ICC Arrest Warrant, Visits Mongolia

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Mongolia has sparked controversy, as Mongolia, a member of the International Criminal Court, failed to arrest him despite an outstanding ICC warrant for war crimes. The ICC, Ukraine, and international legal experts have condemned Mongolia's actions, highlighting potential legal and diplomatic consequences. Russia showed no concern about potential arrest during Putin's visit to Mongolia, where it seeks to expand regional influence and cooperation in various sectors. Experts suggest that Russia used the visit to mock the ICC, choosing Mongolia strategically as it shares a border with Russia and China.
