Ukraine Calls For Putin’s Arrest In Mexico

The Ukrainian embassy in Mexico has asked the Mexican government to arrest Russian leader Vladimir Putin if he attends the inauguration of president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum.

Kyiv’s delegation, which called Putin a “war criminal,” also thanked Mexico for extending an invitation to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky for the ceremony on October 1.

“We are confident that the Mexican government would comply in any case with the international arrest warrant by handing over the aforementioned (Putin) to the United Nations judicial body in The Hague,” the Ukrainian embassy said in a statement on Wednesday.

It would be recalled that the International Criminal Court (ICC),  in March 2023, issued an arrest warrant for Putin on allegations of war crimes over the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia following Moscow’s invasion in early 2022.

Juan Ramon de la Fuente, tapped to be Sheinbaum’s foreign minister, said it was “standard protocol” to invite the leaders of every country that Mexico shares diplomatic relations with to the inauguration, including both Russia and Ukraine.

Sheinbaum, set to be Mexico’s first female president, won a historic victory in Mexico’s general election on June 2 and is set to begin her six-year term in October.
