[global times special correspondent in russia xiao xinxin] the russian presidential press office announced that at the invitation of mongolian president khurelsukh, russian president vladimir putin will visit mongolia on september 3 and attend celebrations commemorating the 85th anniversary of the victory of the battle of the khalkhin river by the soviet and mongolian troops. during the visit, the two heads of state will discuss the prospects for further developing the comprehensive strategic partnership between russia and mongolia, exchange views on international and regional hot issues, and plan to sign a series of bilateral documents. it is reported that putin last visited mongolia in 2019.

russia's "news.ru" news website analyzed that energy and minerals are important areas of cooperation between russia and mongolia. it is not ruled out that putin may discuss the mongolian section of the natural gas pipeline with mongolia during this visit. in addition, the united states and its western allies have recently stepped up their "wooing" of mongolia. putin's visit may be intended to further consolidate and deepen russian-mongolian relations.

russian news website "regnum.ru" quoted experts as saying that after putin's visit to mongolia, he will go to vladivostok to attend the eastern economic forum. against the backdrop of western containment of russia, this may show that russia attaches great importance to further strengthening relations with countries in the asia-pacific region.

putin's visit to mongolia has attracted much attention. the website of russia today tv mentioned that since mongolia is a party to the rome statute of the international criminal court (rome statute), the international criminal court (icc) issued an "arrest warrant" for putin in march last year. the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs issued a statement on august 30, calling on mongolia to comply with the "arrest warrant" and hand putin over to the icc. icc spokesman fadi abdullah also issued a statement saying that mongolia, as a party to the rome statute, has an obligation to cooperate with the icc. the associated press said that this would be putin's first visit to a party to the rome statute since the icc issued the "arrest warrant."

according to ria novosti, russian presidential press secretary peskov responded on august 30 that russia is "not worried" about this, and that it had a "very good dialogue" with the mongolian side. putin's visit to mongolia "has been carefully prepared in all aspects," the report said.

the website of the american magazine "foreign affairs" published an article on august 31, reporting that mongolia may become the first state party to openly "defy" the icc's "arrest warrant" for putin. however, the icc itself does not have an enforcement mechanism for sovereign states, and whether the "arrest warrant" can be enforced depends on whether the states parties are willing to cooperate with the icc. the new york times stated that although mongolia may face diplomatic pressure from the icc and other states parties, it is unlikely to execute the "arrest warrant."
