Moscow says it has "no worries" about the visit, which is expected to happen next week.

The trip, expected to happen on Tuesday [4 Sep], will be the first time the Russian leader has visited an ICC member nation since the court ordered his arrest in March 2023.

The court alleges Mr Putin is responsible for war crimes, saying he failed to stop the unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia since the conflict began.

[…]

Dr Fadi el-Abdallah, a spokesperson for the ICC, […] said Mongolia, like other ICC signatories, has the “obligation to cooperate”. This includes complying with arrest warrants such as the one the court issued for Mr Putin’s arrest in 2023.

[…]

Last year, Mr Putin cancelled a visit to a summit in South Africa following the ICC warrant for his arrest.

Napoleon was held in British custody.
