This supply is critical to ensure our existence and that of our people," the Mongolian spokesperson said in a statement to Politico.

Mongolia’s energy dependence complicates the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, a Mongolian government spokesperson told Politico in a statement on Sept. 3.
