Ukraine asks Mexico to arrest Putin

Ukraine asks Mexico to arrest Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin if he comes to the inauguration of President Claudia Sheinbaum. The event is scheduled to take place on October 1.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Embassy of Ukraine in Mexico.

The embassy expressed hope that the Mexican government is aware that "Vladimir Putin is a war criminal" who has an arrest warrant on suspicion of abducting and forcibly transferring Ukrainian children to Russia, issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), whose jurisdiction Mexico recognizes.

"In the meantime, we believe that the Mexican government will in any case execute the international arrest warrant by submitting the above to the UN judicial body in The Hague," the letter says.
