Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) rejected ordering the arrest of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin should he visit the country to attend the inauguration of his successor, Claudia Sheinbaum.
"It's not up to us," AMLO told press on Friday during his regular press conference. "We can't do that." He has not said Russia is an aggressor in its war in Ukraine and has sought to convey the message that both parties bear responsibility in the ongoing conflict.
