Ukraine has pleaded for the country of Genghis Khan to arrest the dictator
VLADIMIR Putin could be put behind bars as the brazen tyrant is set to visit a country that has signed up to arrest him.
The dictator is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) after tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been snatched by Russia.
Putin is due to visit Mongolia on September 3 giving the country a chance to play a decisive role in ending the invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine has called on the Mongolian government to arrest Putin blasting him as a war criminal.
They said: “The Ukrainian side hopes that the Government of Mongolia is aware of the fact that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.”
But Putin’s mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov shot back at suggestions of an arrest saying: “No, no worries about this. We have a great dialogue with our friends from Mongolia.”
The Kremlin spokesperson said: “Obviously the visit, all of the aspects of the visit have been thoroughly discussed.”
Arresting the dictator and sending him to The Hague is up to the signatory countries as the ICC doesn’t have its own police force.
Many powerful countries are not members of the court – such as the US, Russia, and China.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant in March of last year against Putin, accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.
The Kremlin has dismissed the accusation, saying it is politically motivated.
The warrant obliges the court’s 124 member states, including Mongolia, to arrest Putin and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he sets foot on their territory.
