According to Tihii, this is how the country dealt a serious blow to the international criminal legal system. Mongolia's refusal to detain Putin is a "severe blow to the International Criminal Court and the criminal justice system," he wrote.
"Mongolia allowed an accused criminal to escape justice, thereby sharing responsibility for war crimes," the Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman added.
Ukraine will work with its allies to ensure that Mongolia bears the consequences, he said. Last week, Ukraine called on Ulaanbaatar to arrest Putin during his visit to the country.
Putin arrived in Mongolia today for talks that look set to center mainly on a new gas pipeline linking Russia and China.
The International Criminal Court's arrest warrant issued against Putin last year obliges the ICC's 124 member states, which include Mongolia, to arrest Putin and hand him over to The Hague if the Russian leader steps foot on the territory of any of these countries.
