The Mexican president rejects Ukraine's request to arrest Putin during his possible visit to the inauguration of the new president.

The current President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, said that he would not be able to arrest Vladimir Putin if he comes to the inauguration of the newly elected President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, in October. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

We cannot do this. It is not up to us,

- Obrador said.

Addendum

The Embassy of Ukraine in Mexico appealed to the Mexican government to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he comes to the inauguration of President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Recall

The European Commission has also called on Mexico to arrest Putin if he attends the inauguration of the new president. As a member of the ICC, Mexico is legally obliged to execute an international arrest warrant.
