Ukraine’s request to Mongolia to arrest Putin and Kremlin’s reaction!
reported by Mehr News Agency According to Reuters, Kiev asked the Mongolian authorities to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Mongolia, citing the International Criminal Court’s verdict.
In March last year, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the President of Russia, accusing him of war crimes and the illegal migration of hundreds of Ukrainian children from this country and their transfer to Russia. The Kremlin has strongly denied these accusations and called them influenced by political motives.
This ruling obliges the 124 members of this court, including Mongolia, to detain Putin and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he enters the territory of these countries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine announced in a statement: We ask the Mongolian authorities to arrest Putin in compliance with the international arrest warrant.
However, in response to the question whether Moscow is not worried about Mongolia’s membership in the International Criminal Court, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: No. There is nothing to worry about. We have wonderful relations with our friends in Mongolia.
He also emphasized whether Moscow had a conversation with Ulaanbaatar regarding the verdict of the International Criminal Court: without a doubt, all aspects of the trip have been comprehensively investigated.
Putin’s visit to Mongolia is scheduled for September 3rd (13th of September). This is the first visit of the President of Russia to one of the member countries of the International Criminal Court after the issuance of his arrest warrant.
