Ukraine has asked Mongolia to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin on an International Criminal Court warrant when he visits on Sept. 3.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant in March of last year against Putin, accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.
The warrant obliges the court’s 124 member states, including Mongolia, to arrest Putin and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he sets foot on their territory.
When queried, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin was not worried about the trip as there was an agreement that the accusations were politically motivated.
