Russia demands extradition of Ukraine security chief and others for ‘terrorism’
(www.theguardian.com)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia has demanded that Ukraine extradite a number of people, including the head of the country’s SBU security service, over claims they are connected with “terrorist” acts.
“Russia has turned over to Ukrainian authorities its demands … for the immediate arrest and extradition of all those connected to the terrorist acts in question,” the statement said.
Among those listed in the statement to be handed over were the SBU head, Vasyl Maliuk, who has acknowledged that his service was behind attacks on the bridge linking Crimea to the Russian mainland.
“The Russian side demands that the Kyiv regime immediately cease all support for terrorist activity, extradite guilty parties and compensate the victims for damages,” the ministry statement said.
It referred to the arrest warrant against Putin issued by the international criminal court in connection with the transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia and said: “The tribunal in The Hague is waiting for him.”
The Russian statement referred to the mass shooting this month at a concert hall outside Moscow in which 144 people died, but only in an oblique sense.
