A Mongolian official explained the country's decision not to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin by citing its critical energy dependence on Russia. In an interview with Politico, the Mongolian official noted that Mongolia imports 95% of its oil products and more than 20% of its electricity from Russia. These supplies are vital to meeting the needs of the country's population.

He also emphasized that Mongolia has always maintained a policy of neutrality in its diplomatic relations. The decision not to arrest Putin is due not only to energy dependence, but also to the desire to maintain stable and neutral relations with all states, including Russia.

The statement has generated interest and discussion in the international arena, as Mongolia finds itself in a difficult situation, balancing its economic interests with pressure in the international political arena.
