WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has denied a comment on whether it requested an extradition of a Russian national from Thailand, a spokesperson for the FBI told Sputnik on Thursday.
"Unfortunately, we have no comment for you, as it is FBI policy to neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation," the official stated.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said earlier on Thursday that Russia is taking measures to resolve the situation surrounding the arrest of a Russian citizen at the US request in Thailand and to prevent his extradition to the United States.
Ukrainsky himself denies any wrongdoing, Russian Counsellor and Head of Consular Section Vladimir Sosnov told RIA Novosti earlier, adding that Moscow had forwarded a request for complete documentation in the case to Bangkok.
