Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), Sep 3 (AP) Russian President Vladimir Putin was visiting Mongolia on Tuesday with no sign that the host country would bow to calls to arrest him on an international warrant for alleged war crimes stemming from the invasion of Ukraine.

The trip is Putin's first to a member country of the International Criminal Court since it issued a warrant for his arrest about 18 months ago.
