Putin was not arrested in Mongolia because the country depends on oil supplies from Russia.

The Mongolian government explains that they were unable to arrest Putin under the International Criminal Court order because their “hands were tied” due to their dependence on Russia. Energy dependence on Russia has become more important for the country than fulfilling the ICC order.

After refusing to comply with the order on Monday, September 2, a Mongolian government official told Politico the reasons for their actions. They said Mongolia imports 95 percent of its petroleum products and more than 20 percent of its electricity from Russia and China, which is vital for the country. The official also emphasized that Mongolia has a policy of neutrality and avoids conflict with its neighbors, despite their interference.

Putin's visit to Mongolia has caused discontent among other countries, who expected Mongolia to comply with the ICC warrant. The fact that war criminal Putin came to Mongolia has caused accusations from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, pointing to the responsibility of Ulaanbaatar and the Russian Federation for war crimes.
