“The Mongolian government’s failure to carry out the binding ICC arrest warrant for Putin is a heavy blow to the International Criminal Court and the international criminal justice system,” Tykhyi stated.

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson added that Mongolia allowed the accused to evade justice, thereby sharing responsibility for his war crimes.

“We will work with partners to ensure that this has consequences for Ulan Bator,” Tykhyi concluded.

Earlier, Russian propagandists reported that Putin arrived in Mongolia on September 2 and published video footage from Ulan Bator airport.
