“I had to postpone the dates of the visit twice because of the delay in issuing the visa. Initially, I hoped that we would be able to go to Victor at the end of last year, since the interview itself in the American diplomatic mission we went with my daughter in September 2018, ”she said in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.

She added that she plans a trip in late August - early September.

In late January, the Russian Foreign Ministry demanded that the US authorities issue visas to relatives of Bout.

Viktor Bout was detained in Thailand in 2008 and extradited to the United States, where he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for allegedly planning to kill American citizens.
