Russian Presidential spokesperson Dmitri Peskov stated that Turkey has expressed interest in joining the BRICS group of emerging economies, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Speaking to journalists aboard a flight to Ulaanbaatar on Monday, Peskov noted that Turkey had made this request 'a long time ago.'
Peskov also addressed concerns over the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was issued in March 2023 on charges of war crimes related to the deportation of children from Ukraine. Despite Mongolia being a signatory to the ICC’s Rome Statute, Peskov claimed there were 'no problems' concerning Mongolia’s implementation of the warrant during Putin's state visit to the Mongolian capital on Monday.
"We don't have that problem on the agenda. With Mongolia specifically," Peskov said.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry recently called on Mongolia to comply with the ICC order to arrest Putin. In response, Nabila Massrali, an official representative of the European External Action Service, acknowledged Mongolia's right to pursue its international relations according to its interests but reminded the country of its legal obligations as a party to the Rome Statute.
The ICC’s arrest warrant against Putin and Russian official Maria Lvova-Belova has been condemned by Moscow as 'outrageous and unacceptable.'
Ukraine has also accused both individuals of committing war crimes. Russia, however, maintains that the evacuation of children from war zones was done following international humanitarian law and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
