Mongolia did not comply with the ICC arrest warrant for Putin during his visit. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said it was a blow to the international criminal law system and would work on the consequences for Ulaanbaatar.

Mongolia has allowed the accused criminal, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, to escape justice, thereby sharing responsibility for his war crimes. This was emphasized by Foreign Ministry speaker Georgi Tikhiy and noted that the Mongolian government struck at the ICC, UNN reports.

"The Mongolian government's failure to comply with the ICC's binding arrest warrant for Putin is a heavy blow to the International Criminal Court and the international criminal law system.

Mongolia allowed the accused criminal to escape justice, thereby sharing responsibility for his war crimes.

We will work with our partners to ensure that this has consequences for Ulaanbaatar," the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
