The EU reacted to Mongolia's decision not to arrest Putin under the ICC warrant.

The EU expressed regret over Mongolia's refusal to arrest Putin by executing the ICC warrant

The European Union expressed sorrow and concern regarding the decision of the Mongolian authorities to welcome the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and ignore the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for his arrest.

The representative of the EU's foreign policy service, Peter Stano, noted that the EU takes into account Putin's visit to Ulaanbaatar, despite Mongolia being a party to the Rome Statute of the ICC and should have arrested Putin following the ICC prosecutor's warrant.

"The EU expresses regret that Mongolia, a state party to the Rome Statute of the ICC, did not fulfill its obligations regarding the execution of the arrest warrant. The EU fully supports efforts to ensure full accountability for war crimes and other most serious crimes committed during Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine,"

He also added that the EU supports the investigation conducted by the ICC prosecutor regarding the events of the Russia-Ukraine war and calls on all states parties to the Rome Statute to intensively cooperate with this body.
