Putin arrives in Mongolia, a member of the International Criminal Court that has issued an arrest warrant for him

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Mongolia on Monday, along with a member of the International Court of Justice who issued an arrest warrant for him.

The official visit, during which he will meet Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh on Tuesday, is Putin's first to a member country of the International Criminal Court since the court issued an arrest warrant for him nearly 18 months ago on suspicion of war crimes in Ukraine.

Ukraine called on Mongolia to arrest Putin and hand him over to the court in The Hague. A spokesman for Putin said last week that the Kremlin was not concerned about the visit.

Members of the International Criminal Court are required to arrest suspects when a warrant is issued, but the Court has no enforcement mechanisms.

Mongolia, a sparsely populated country located between Russia and China, is highly dependent on Russia for fuel and electricity and on China for investment in the mining industry.

The ICC accuses Putin of being responsible for the abduction of children from Ukraine, where fighting has been raging for two and a half years.

Putin and the Mongolian leader will attend a ceremony on Tuesday commemorating the victory of Soviet and Mongolian troops over the Japanese army that conquered Manchuria in northeast China in 1939. Thousands of soldiers died in months of fighting over the border between Manchuria and Mongolia.

Although Putin is internationally isolated because of the invasion of Ukraine, he visited North Korea and Vietnam last month and was also in China twice last year.

Last year, he attended a meeting in Johannesburg via video link after the South African government pressured him to attend the BRICS summit, a group that includes China and other emerging economies. South Africa is a member of the ICC.
