Poland Detains 19 Ukrainians at Russia's Request
It is unknown whether anyone has been extradited.
Poland has detained 19 Ukrainian citizens via Interpol at the request of the Russian Federation. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said in response to a LIGA.net request.
The ministry said that it had prevented the extradition of 2 Ukrainians to Russia, but it is unclear whether these 2 are among the 19, or whether 21 were initially detained. The ministry also did not specify whether any of the other detainees had been handed over to Russia or whether they remain in Poland.
On November 9, Igor Mazur, a veteran of the anti-terrorist operation (ATO), was detained at the Dorohusk border crossing in Poland at Russia's request. It is noted that he entered the country on an official invitation. Later, Kyiv residents held a rally outside the Polish embassy in his support.
Deputy Speaker of the Polish Sejm Małgorzata Gosiewska said that Ukrainians should not worry about Mazur's detention and that Poles "cannot be actors in a Russian scenario." On November 13, Mazur was back in Ukraine.
