“Yes, it's true, extradition (Burkova. - RT ) is happening right now,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the Russian embassy in Israel noted that the extradition of Burkov to the United States does not contribute to the strengthening of Russian-Israeli relations.

On October 30, the Israeli Justice Ministry allowed the extradition of a Russian to the United States.

Burkova’s defense acknowledged that it could not influence this decision.

Alexei Burkov was detained in 2015 at the request of Washington during passport control when leaving Israel.

In the USA he is accused of “cybercrimes”.
