Putin’s Mongolia Visit Confirmed Amidst International Tensions

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s upcoming visit to Mongolia has been confirmed by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, despite ongoing international pressure. The visit, scheduled for September 3rd, will see Putin attending celebrations commemorating the 85th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Japan and the liberation of Mongolia during World War II. The visit comes amidst international tensions, with the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing an arrest warrant for Putin in March. Moscow has refused to recognize the ICC’s authority and has dismissed its decisions as invalid. Putin’s trip to Mongolia will focus on commemorating the historical significance of the Soviet victory, while also serving as a platform for strengthening ties with the country.
