Putin’s Challenge! ICC Arrest Warrant Faces Its First Real Test As Russian Leader Visits Mongolia

Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to visit Mongolia next week, despite an ICC arrest warrant against him. As a Rome Statute signatory, Mongolia is technically obligated to arrest Putin, but this is unlikely due to their alliance. The visit commemorates a 1939 Soviet-Mongolian victory over Japan and aims to strengthen bilateral relations. This move follows recent joint military exercises and echoes a similar situation with South Africa last year. #Putin #PutinMongolia #ICC #InternationalCriminalCourt #Mongolia #SouthAfrica #Ukrainewar #Kursk #Japan #VladimirPutin #Worldnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~PR.320~ED.102~GR.344~
