Putin welcomed in Mongolia despite ICC arrest warrant


Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Mongolia, his first visit to an International Criminal Court (ICC) member since it issued a warrant for his arrest last year.

He was welcomed by Mongolia's leader at a lavish ceremony in the Asian nation's capital Ulaanbaatar on Tuesday.

The Russian leader is wanted by the court for the alleged illegal deportation of Ukrainian children.

A spokesperson from the Kremlin said it was not concerned Mr Putin would be arrested during the visit.

Soldiers on horseback lined the capital's Genghis Khan Square as martial anthems were played by a live band to welcome the Russian leader, who met with the Mongolian president Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh.
