Delegations from Russia and Mongolia signed a series of agreements following talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mongolian leader Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh in Ulaanbaatar on Tuesday.

Footage shows members of the two countries' governments exchanging documents. The list of approved memorandums includes an agreement on the reconstruction of the transportable nuclear power plant No. 3 in Ulaanbaatar, co-operation on 'plague epidemiology', the supply of oil products and the preservation of Lake Baikal.

Putin arrived in Ulaanbaatar on Monday at the invitation of the Mongolian president, to take part in events marking the 85th anniversary of the joint forces' victory over Japanese militarists on the Khalkhin Gol River.

The Russian president is also scheduled to engage in discussions with the Chairman of the Great State Khural Dashzegve Amarbayasgalan and Prime Minister Luvsannamsrajn Oyun-Erdene.

Mongolia is a member of the International Criminal Court, which has a warrant out for Putin's arrest, related to alleged 'war crimes' related to deportation of children during the Ukraine conflict.

Ahead of the visit the ICC said that all members had an 'obligation' to detain those sought by it, while the EU and Ukraine also called for the country to make an arrest.

However, there is no legal enforcement procedure. The Kremlin has said it does not recognise the warrant, while on Monday Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitri Peskov told reporters "we don't have a problem on the agenda - with Mongolia specifically". Mongolia has not commented.
