Putin's Mongolia Visit: Lavish Welcome,Talks, and Cultural Twist Amidst ICC Arrest Warrant Drama
Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Mongolia unfolded with a grand ceremonial welcome in Ulaanbaatar, marked by an honor guard and an impressive cavalry escort. The visit included high-profile meetings with Mongolian President Ukhnagiin Khurelsukh and other top officials, as well as a symbolic wreath-laying at the monument to Georgy Zhukov. A notable cultural engagement saw Putin and Khurelsukh participating in a choreography lesson with local students. The visit, which concluded with a gala reception celebrating the 85th anniversary of the victory at Khalkhin Gol, occurred under the shadow of international scrutiny due to the ICC arrest warrant against Putin for alleged war crimes. Despite this, Mongolia chose not to act on the warrant, highlighting the complex geopolitical dynamics at play.

05:30— It is also pleasant to note that our relations are already developing on a new basis.
05:41And despite all the difficulties, including those you mentioned, the COVID-19 story, we have still reached the trajectory of growth in trade relations and trade turnover.
05:55Indeed, relations are developing in all directions.
06:10In addition to the economic and political sphere, where we also cooperate quite actively, I would also note the effective work in the humanitarian sphere, in particular in the education sphere.
06:40The Intergovernmental Commission is working actively, and there are results.
06:50Today, during our work, we will certainly repeatedly return to the main areas of our cooperation in the economic sphere.
07:04I would like to invite you to Russia, to Kazan, where the BRICS summit will be held this year.
07:19This will be the first such event after the organization's expansion.
07:39I hope you will take part in the BRICS Outreach format. We are waiting for you.
08:02First of all, I would like to thank you again for the invitation.
08:06These meetings in Mongolia in autumn and September have become truly traditional.
08:19In 1939, Soviet and Mongolian wars gave decisive resistance to Japanese aggressors, defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mongolia.
08:38The ties of military brotherhood, which have strengthened the peoples of our countries, are still a reliable basis for friendship, cooperation and good neighborliness.
09:02I am sure that this legacy must be passed on to future generations.
09:20Today, we will offer flowers to the Ulaanbaatar Memorial, one of the creators of the victory at Khalkhin Gol, the Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov.
09:50Recently, another monument to Zhukov was opened in Choebolsan, the city that bears the name of the famous Mongolian commander of the period of the Khalkhin Gol battles.
10:21You know, our country remembers and appreciates the help that Mongolia provided to the USSR during the Great Patriotic War,
10:38as well as military support during the defeat of the Kwantung Army in 1945.
10:52We are waiting for you, Mr. President, in Moscow in May next year at the solemn ceremonies in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory.
11:14Relations with Mongolia are among the priorities of our foreign policy in Asia.
11:22They are based on a high level of comprehensive strategic partnership and are supported by a stable dialogue on the line of government, parliaments, public organizations in the field of security.
11:52Interregional and border cooperation programs are being implemented.
12:11As for trade and economic ties, they are developing successfully.
12:16In January and July this year, trade increased by 21 percent.
12:31We have prepared and almost completed the work on a temporary trade agreement between the Eurasian Union and Mongolia.
12:45This agreement will facilitate the supply of traditional Mongolian goods to the Russian market.
12:59We pay great attention to humanitarian and educational ties.
13:06A large number of Mongolian students are studying in Russia.
13:16In 2024-2025, there will be another 620 places.
13:21We appreciate the interest of the Mongolian youth in learning Russian.
13:33We are working constructively in the international arena, including at the largest international venues.
13:50I am confident that during today's visit, I will be able to discuss with my Mongolian colleagues and friends the key issues of cooperation between our countries in order to further deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Mongolia.
14:50Let me remind you that in 1939, our country immediately responded to the Mongolian government's request for help.
15:08We pay tribute to the courage, self-discipline, resilience and heroism of Soviet and Mongolian soldiers.
15:16Fighting shoulder to shoulder, they gave a tough, decisive resistance to the aggressor and defended the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mongolia.
15:27Thanks to their feat, the security of the Far Eastern borders of the Soviet Union was also ensured in the difficult years of the Great Patriotic War.
15:37In the bloody battles on Mongolian soil, more than 10,000 Soviet soldiers and officers gave their lives.
15:45I would like to express my gratitude to my Mongolian friends for their considerate attitude to the burial of Soviet soldiers and, in general, for their respectful attitude to the common historical heritage.
15:59I would like to note that it was on the battlefields in Mongolia that the talent of the future Marshal of Victory Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, who is remembered, known and revered, was revealed.
16:14Together with the President, we will lay flowers to the monument to this outstanding commander in Ulaanbaatar.
16:22Last week, as you know, another monument to Zhukov was unveiled in the city of Choibalsan with the assistance of the Russian Ministry of Defence.
16:33In Russia, they remember and appreciate the contribution of the Mongolian people to the fight against Nazism and militarism.
16:40In the years of the Great Patriotic War, the fighters of the Mongolian Arad aviation squadron and the tanks that were part of the Revolutionary Mongolia Brigade passed the glorious battle route to Berlin.
16:59Mongolia provided the Soviet troops with more than half a million horses, which was also a considerable help at that time.
17:09The 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War will be celebrated next year.
17:16We invited President Khorul-Sukha to come to Moscow on May 9.
17:22We are also working on the possibility of the calculation of the Mongolian Armed Forces taking part together with the Russian military in the solemn parade on the Red Square.
17:33I am convinced that the military brotherhood forged in the harsh years of trials, as well as the centuries-long traditions of good company and mutual assistance,
17:42will serve as a solid foundation on which the friendly Russian-Mongolian relations are built.
17:50These relations are developing and strengthening dynamically in full compliance with the interstate treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership signed here, in Ulaanbaatar, exactly five years ago.
18:03During today's talks, President Khorul-Sukha and I discussed a wide range of issues of cooperation in the political, economic and humanitarian spheres,
18:13and exchanged views on the most pressing international and regional issues.
18:17As a result, as you have just seen, a number of bilateral agreements have been concluded.
18:23Much attention has been paid to the development of mutually beneficial trade and investment ties.
18:29Russia is one of the main foreign economic partners of Mongolia, and in the first seven months of this year, trade has increased by more than 21 percent.
18:42In addition, trade between our two countries is already practically fully implemented in alternative dollars and euro currencies.
18:51Further growth in mutual export-import operations would undoubtedly facilitate the establishment of close contacts between Mongolia and the Eurasian Economic Union.
19:02Russia supported the idea of concluding the Mongolian-Eurasian Trade Agreement.
19:08The Ulaanbaatar Railway is a real flagship of Russian-Mongolian economic cooperation.
19:17For 75 years, it has made a significant contribution to Mongolia's economy.
19:23The Ulaanbaatar Railway Development Programme, which was designed for 2030, is being implemented at full speed.
19:33We are increasing the standard capital, increasing the capacity and modernising the railways.
19:41All these measures allow us to increase the volume of cargo transport, both bilateral and transit, between Russia and China.
19:50For a long time, our country has been providing Mongolia's economy with the energy resources it needs.
19:57Last year, more than 90 percent of gasoline and diesel came to the Mongolian market from Russia.
20:04We are constantly responding to the requests of our Mongolian friends for assistance in meeting the growing demand for fuel and fuel-oil materials, including in favorable conditions.
20:18We see good prospects for cooperation in the gas sector.
20:23The development of the Union-East gas pipeline project, which will connect Russia, Mongolia and China, will take almost 1,000 kilometres.
20:33At present, the project is being conducted by the state, and its impact on the environment is being assessed.
20:42We are not just talking about the transit of Russian gas through Mongolia.
20:46We are also considering the possibility of supplying this fuel to Mongolian consumers.
20:51Gazprom is ready to provide the necessary support in the practical issues of gasification of the country.
20:58Our partnership in energy is not limited to the export of hydrocarbons.
21:03The Russian company Interau is planning to join the modernisation and reconstruction of the Ulaanbaatar TET-3,
21:10to assist in the installation of new equipment and to increase the generating capacity of the plant threefold.
21:17This will increase the reliability of the supply of electricity and heat to the residents of the capital of Mongolia.
21:23Russia will continue to supply electricity to Mongolian consumers.
21:28We are also open to implementing joint projects in the field of nuclear power
21:33on the basis of the most modern and safe Russian technologies, including the use of low-module reactors.
21:41The topic of humanitarian cooperation was also discussed during the talks.
21:47On a regular basis, our countries hold cross-cultural days and the Days of Russian-Mongolian Friendship.
21:54Joint scientific research and expeditions are being organised.
21:59Tourist exchanges have recently become noticeably more active.
22:04Athletes from Mongolia have been widely represented at major international events in Russia,
22:11such as the BRICS Games, Children of Asia, as well as future multi-sport games.
22:17We are waiting for the Mongolian delegation at the Russia-Sports State International Forum,
22:22which will take place in October in the city of Ufa.
22:26Our country traditionally does a lot to train highly qualified personnel for our Mongolian economy.
22:34More than 2,000 students from Mongolia are studying at Russian universities.
22:39For 25 years now, a branch of the Russian Economic University of Plekhanov has been operating in Ulaanbaatar.
22:47The interest of the Mongolian youth in obtaining Russian education is very high,
22:53which is why Russia annually ranks Mongolia among the largest scholarships, with more than 600 places.
23:01And, of course, it is important for us that people in Mongolia love and study the Russian language.
23:07For many decades, the country has had a well-established system of teaching,
23:12which opens up vast opportunities for gaining knowledge,
23:16deepening business, scientific and cultural ties between our countries.
23:22And the Russian side will continue to provide support for teaching Russian in Mongolia,
23:28including in the regions adjacent to our country.
23:32When considering issues of military-technical and anti-terrorism cooperation,
23:37it was stated that Russian-Mongolian cooperation in these areas contributes to ensuring security in Asia.
23:47The discussion of the international agenda confirmed that Russia's and Mongolia's positions on many relevant global issues are close.
23:57Our program of cooperation continues.
24:00During this visit, the Prime Minister will meet the Chairman of the Mongolian Parliament.
24:08But I can already say with confidence that cooperation with our Mongolian friends will reach an agreement
24:18and will contribute to the further development of Russian-Mongolian multilateral partnership.
24:23And, of course, I would like to once again thank Mr Khrusukha and all his Mongolian friends for the warm and friendly reception.
24:32Thank you for your attention.
25:41And we will be able to see some element of your creativity.
25:46Hello. We are glad to see you.
25:50Let's go.
25:52Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:07Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:10Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:13Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:16Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:19Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:22Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:25Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:28Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:31Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:34Let's go, let's go, let's go.
26:57Congratulations.
26:59Dear Mr. President, dear friends, I am sincerely glad to be again on the hospitable land of Mongolia,
27:09to solemnly celebrate with my Mongolian friends the anniversary of our common victory in the Battle of Khalkha.
27:29We pay tribute to the Soviet and Mongolian soldiers who took part in those hard, bloody battles.
27:39Their memory will forever be in the memory of our peoples, in the historical legacy of Russia and Mongolia.
27:49Thanks to the courage and steadfastness of the heroes of the Battle of Khalkha,
27:59a dangerous enemy was stopped, which in our far-fetched plans encircled Mongolia.
28:19The victory in the Battle of Khalkha had a great impact on the fate of the region and the entire course of the Second World War.
28:29Japan, having suffered defeat, withstood the attack on the Soviet Union,
28:39and our country was able to send all its forces, including fresh Far Eastern divisions,
28:49to fight against Nazi Germany.
28:59And we, of course, remember the considerable support from the Mongolian people during the Second World War,
29:09during the Patriotic War.
29:19Mongolia helped the front, delivering food and warm clothes.
29:29It raised funds for the production of tanks and airplanes.
29:39Russia and Mongolia continue to actively cooperate and develop comprehensive strategic partnership.
29:49Russia and Mongolia continue to actively cooperate and develop comprehensive strategic partnership.
30:19I would like to emphasize that the strengthening of friendly relations with Mongolia has always been and remains one of the top foreign policy priorities of Russia.
30:29In turn, we appreciate that Mongolia is also committed to military-private cooperation with NATO.
30:39This is clearly confirmed by our today's negotiations with President Rousseff and other Mongolian leaders.
30:49All of them, having read the traditional constructive and substantive key,
30:59have allowed us to consider a wide range of issues and current regional and international problems,
31:09and to plan further prospects of multilateral partnership.
31:19The Mongolian people have a good chance.
31:29The Mongolian people have a good chance.

31:49I am convinced that based on the proven time and strong friendship,
31:59we will definitely be able to solve the most ambitious tasks.
