Putin Plans First Visit to I.C.C. Member State Since Arrest Warrant
Briefly

President Vladimir V. Putin is set to visit Mongolia on September 3, marking his first trip to an International Criminal Court member since a warrant was issued against him for war crimes.
Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, stated that there are no security concerns for Putin's visit, citing excellent dialogue with Mongolia and careful preparation of the trip.
Former U.S. ambassador David Scheffer suggested that Putin's visit might serve as a platform for him to propagandize against the International Criminal Court and Ukraine.
Mongolia's Foreign Ministry confirmed the visit amid the context of its obligations to the International Criminal Court, where members are generally required to act on arrest warrants.
