President Vladimir V. Putin's state visit to Mongolia comes in the wake of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for his alleged involvement in the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children.
Despite the I.C.C.'s statement that Mongolia is obligated to arrest him, the geopolitical realities suggest that such an arrest is highly unlikely, given Mongolia's dependence on Russia for fuel.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitri S. Peskov reassured that there are no concerns regarding the visit, citing a strong dialogue with Mongolia and thorough preparation for the trip.
The warm reception Putin received in Mongolia, highlighted by a military guard at the airport, reflects his confidence amid international scrutiny following the arrest warrant.
