The international court has accused Putin of being responsible for the abductions of children from Ukraine.
Watch the 6abc Philadelphia 24/7 stream featuring Action News, AccuWeather and Entertainmentreceived a red-carpet welcome to Mongolia on Tuesday, as the country ignored calls to arrest him on an international warrant for alleged war crimes stemming from Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian leader was welcomed in the main square in Ulaanbaatar, the capital, by an honor guard dressed in vivid red and blue uniforms styled on those of the personal guard of 13th century ruler Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire. Mongolia and Russia signed agreements for a feasibility study and the design of a power plant upgrade in Ulaanbaatar to ensure the supply of aviation fuel to Mongolia. Another agreement covered an environmental study of a river where Mongolia hopes to build a hydroelectric plant that Russia says would pollute Lake Baikal on the Russian side. Putin also outlined plans to develop the rail system between the countries.
Given Mongolia's dependence on Russia and China for trade, energy and security, it was hardly possible to expect Mongolia to arrest Putin, said Sam Greene, the director of democratic resilience at the Center for European Policy Analysis. But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed the trip wasn't about "showing something to Western countries," but rather about developing bilateral relations between two countries rooted in history and "wonderful glorious traditions." His remarks were made to state TV reporter Pavel Zarubin, who posted them on his Telegram channel.
