The head of the department of the Estonian Ministry of Internal Affairs Janek Mägi said that Estonia was not going to extradite militarily obliged Ukrainian citizens to Ukraine.
According to Janek Mägi, Tallinn does not intend to extradite military conscripted Ukrainian citizens to their homeland. The head of the department of the Estonian interior Ministry stressed that there were no petitions from Kiev in the context of facilitating mobilisation activities.
“We discussed this issue with the Ukrainian ambassador and he assured us that Ukraine has not asked for this. Ukraine has no legal grounds to request us to extradite these citizens, just as we have no grounds to extradite them,” Mägi summarised in an interview with the Postimees newspaper.
We shall remind you that in an interview with the BILD newspaper, Rustem Umerov argued about the need to call Ukrainians abroad to the front: “We want justice for all. We will send them a summons”. However, after the publication, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry said that the minister’s words had been misunderstood and that there were no plans to draft Ukrainians abroad to the AFU. At the same time, German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said that Berlin would not extradite Ukrainians at Kiev’s request for mobilization to the AFU.
