Reuters reported the information.

"We can't do that. It's not up to us," the Mexican president told reporters.

Background

On June 2, Claudia Sheinbaum, a physicist with a doctorate in energy, former mayor of Mexico City, member of the UN panel on climate change, and Nobel laureate, won the presidential election in Mexico—the first time a woman has achieved this in the country's history.

Subsequently, Mexico invited Vladimir Putin to the inauguration of the newly elected president.

At the same time, Ukraine appealed to Mexico to arrest Vladimir Putin if he came to the country.
