Kremlin not worried about Putin vist to Mongolia

The Russian government has said it was not worried that Mongolia could arrest President Vladimir Putin during his visit next week to the member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has issued a warrant for the Russian leader.

Mr Putin will travel to Mongolia on Tuesday, in his first trip to an ICC member since The Hague-based court issued a warrant for his arrest over the alleged illegal deportation of Ukrainian children in March 2023.

"There are no worries, we have a great dialogue with our friends from Mongolia," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
