Ukraine's embassy in Mexico has asked the government to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he attends the October 1 inauguration of President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum.
Putin is not going to turn up in Mexico. Mexico might not care much about the war in Ukraine, but the US does and would be rather easy to do it for Mexico.

The United States arresting the President of Russia while they are in Mexico would be the definition of "Political Crisis" and it would likely result in Russia declaring war on the United States and potentially the Netherlands, and thus NATO, as well.
The US would not arrest Putin, Mexico would. The US just happens like have an interest in arresting Putin and a lot of leverage over Mexico. That is besides it being international law, so most countries would actually like that.
Also nobody Russia would not start a war over the arrest of Putin. Anybody in the Russian leadership, who has the power to declare a war against the US, Netherlands, Mexico and/or NATO also has the power to replace Putin. So why would they try to bring Putin back, so Putin can take their power?
I disagree - Mexico is a Rome statute signatory, meaning that (theoretically) they're legally obligated to arrest Putin on arrival as the ICC has issued a warrant for him
Afaik their diplomatic neutrality wouldn't override their legal obligations
Considering that the coward kremlin parasite wouldn't dare leave the prison it has created for itself of a 10 meter table with bulletproof glass in the middle, and of flying exclusively over russian and chinese airspace - maybe also turkish and indian - this headline is a very roundabout way of simply saying: "Mexico's new president will take the oath and assume office next month" and leave it at that.
So many narratives that do not need the kremlin and its' parasites inserted in there, and this is one of them.
