Putin: Russia will 'never' extradite citizens accused by US

Why mercenaries are the perfect proxy soldiers for Putin

Why mercenaries are the perfect proxy soldiers for Putin

Russian Federation is due to hold a presidential election on March 18th, which polls show incumbent Vladimir Putin should comfortably win.

In the past year, Washington repeatedly accused Moscow of interfering in the 2016 USA presidential election, which helped then-candidate Donald Trump defeat his rival Hilary Clinton.

"Never. Never. Russia does not extradite its citizens to anyone, just like the United States", Putin said.

The rally was held two days after Putin unveiled Russia's next generation of nuclear armaments, including a missile he claims can not be intercepted by any modern defence system.

For years, the Justice Department has supported indicting foreigners in absentia as a way to shame them and make it harder for them to travel overseas.

Andrew P. Napolitano, the senior judicial analyst at Fox News Channel, wrote in an opinion last month "that the American intelligence community has done similar "disinformation" projects in foreign countries (though not on this scale), these defendants and these indictments will go nowhere".

Dan Coates, the director of national intelligence, said, "There should be no doubt that Russia perceives that its past efforts have been successful and views the 2018 midterm USA elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations". "Its aim is not only to eliminate the competitor on the global arms market, but also to undermine the defense capability of separate states, increase their lag in the military sphere", Putin said at a meeting of the Commission for Military Technical Cooperation. "Does the United States extradite its citizens to anyone?" "What they did specifically, I have no idea".
