The International Criminal Court and Ukrainian authorities have called on Mongolia to arrest Putin, who is suspected of illegally deporting Ukrainian children to Russia.
ICC spokesman Fadi Al-Abdallah told reporters that, like other countries that signed the Rome Statute that created the court, Mongolia “has a duty to cooperate” with the court.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also urged the Mongolian authorities to “refer Putin to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.”

This visit came after the United States announced its desire to increase its influence in this country, where its Russian and Chinese competitors also aspire to increase their influence.
