“We do not hunt for Russian citizens. We simply apply our laws and extradition arrangements with partner countries. This is not some kind of practice that selectively targets Russians, ”Kommersant quoted him as saying.
According to Sullivan, the volume of use of such instruments as extradition against Russians is not massive.
“I can tell you this as a person who worked for many years at the US Department of Justice. We give out to other countries much more people in the framework of agreements with them. The number of detained (at the request of the USA. - RT ) Russians is not so large, ”said the US ambassador.
Sullivan emphasized that criticism of the United States in this case is not justified.
Earlier, the US ambassador to Russia said that US leader Donald Trump intends to send a “very high-ranking” delegation to Moscow to participate in the Victory Day celebrations.
