Abstract

In connection with the launch by Russia of a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine in accordance with the decision of the President of the Russian Federation of February 24, 2022, some unfriendly states took an active initiative to prevent the extradition of wanted persons to Russia. The refusal of foreign partners to fulfill their obligations expressly provided for by international treaties not only allows criminals to avoid criminal liability for the crimes committed, but also actually poses a threat to the national security of the Russian Federation. The article reveals the essence of the situation that has changed for the Russian Federation and the procedure for the actions of the authorized bodies in the new international legal situation. On the basis of the conducted research, some proposals have been formulated on how to overcome the current negative trend and develop adequate ways to counteract.
