Russia Demands Extradition of Ukrainian Security Chief for Alleged Terrorism

Moscow accuses Vasyl Maliuk, head of Ukraine's SBU, and others of orchestrating attacks, including a bridge explosion in Crimea, amid ongoing war.

Russia has demanded that Ukraine extradite Vasyl Maliuk, head of the SBU, and others accused of terrorist acts in Russia.
The accusations include involvement in a bridge explosion in Crimea and other violent incidents since the 2022 invasion.
Ukraine dismisses the demands as 'pointless', highlighting an international arrest warrant against Putin for war crimes.
ISIS-K claimed responsibility for a Moscow concert hall attack, which Russia obliquely links to Ukrainian nationalists.
Russia's demands come as the war with Ukraine, which began in February 2022, continues without resolution.
