The war in Ukraine has caused many Mongolians to fear the consequences of the existing historic and economic ties between Russia and their country
...Mongolia is still in Russian-language contexts referred to as the ‘sixteenth Republic’ (of the former USSR) causing many in the country to identify with the Ukrainian commitment to independence from Russia. As evidenced by the ‘sixteenth Republic’ label this independence is still all too often not recognised by Russian counterparts, with whom Mongolian and Ukrainians’ history, social networks, and critical physical infrastructures are deeply entangled.
Since the first democratic elections following a student-led Democratic Revolution in 1989-1990, Mongolia has built a system of wide-ranging international relationships. While maintaining ‘strategic partnerships’ with its two neighbours, Russia and China, Mongolia has also pursued a ‘third neighbour’ policy, maintaining strong relations with the United States and NATO countries, including fellow former members of the Warsaw Pact.
on 28 February, a group of about twenty demonstrators assembled on Sukhbaatar Square with a long yellow and blue banner representing the flag of Ukraine.
..On 25 March, demonstrators assembled at the Russian Embassy in Mongolia, also in the centre of Ulaanbaatar, a few blocks west of Sukhbaatar Square, calling for the Russian ambassador to Mongolia to leave the country. Apart from the Ukrainian flag, these demonstrators were also carrying the Mongolian, Buryat, Kalmyk, and Tuvan flag

Aren’t they dominated by the Chicom’s?
Mongolia reassessing relationship with Northern Mongolia,
I fixed the title for you.
Think American, act American 🇺🇸
Think American, stop supporting Putin
🇺🇸
Yet.
No one trusts Putin or Russia anymore and that happens when people lie too much about phoney exercises and then making sneak attacks like Japan and Pearl Harbor.
Ulan-Ude,Buryatia,Russia has the highest per-capita KIA rate in UKR, it’s also right above the Mongolian border...
Mongolia join NATO!
You will restore the warrior spirit to the Europeans.
Uh- oh! The Russians will have to invade Mongolia because of all of the Mongolian Nazis (and I wish I was entirely joking): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POTcjXYSnQc
Even the Mongols are disgusted with Putin’s nazi army tactics
How many are getting paid to protest?
Doesn’t tell us beans.
The article says 20 in front of Embassy. The headline says the country is reassessing relationships. What happened to journalism?
Any number greater than a dozen is huge for Mongolia.
They aren’t getting paid. Mongols, Kazakh etc read the Putin propaganda that their nations should be absorbed by Russia and they don’t want that. Hence the solidarity with Ukraine against Putin’s aggression
No, they hate, HATE the Chinese. Inner Mongolia is a chinese province that is home to nearly the same number of Mongols as in Mongolia, but their culture and language there are dying out under the sheer weight of Han Chinese culture
Correct, as per Chinese propaganda, both communist Chinese and Taiwanese, Mongolia is a part of China.
Was in Ulaanbator 15 years ago as part of a mission. Was there a couple of weeks, so can’t give you an in depth, just surface opinion of Mongols. The ones in the capital, which is more than half the population, aren’t filled with warrior spirit.
Unfortunately, not only is what you say true, it also makes sense. Urbanization stinks.
They aren’t getting paid.
maybe not the demonstrators but the organizers. Never forget that.
