Russia has demanded that Ukraine extradite a number of people, including the head of the country’s SBU security service, over claims they are connected with “terrorist” acts.

The SBU immediately dismissed the Russian demand as “pointless” and said the Russian foreign ministry had “forgotten” that Vladimir Putin was the subject of an international arrest warrant.

A Russian foreign ministry statement listed violent incidents that have occurred in Russia since the full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, including bombings that killed the daughter of a prominent nationalist and a war blogger, and an incident in which a writer was seriously hurt.

The ministry said investigation of these incidents showed that “the traces of these crimes lead to Ukraine”.

    Hot damn Russia is just making up random shit at this point that has zero continuity in the storyline. At least before they just lied but now it’s moved into some weird super alternate reality.

    Setup a trade. Russia gets Vasyl Maliuk (The Head of the Ukrainian SBU), if they hand over Putin for trial at The Hague for War Crimes. While I don’t believe Maliuk is guilty of anything (other than prosecuting clandestine actions in a defensive war), I also suspect he’d be enough of a patriot to take one for Ukraine, if meant Putin was held accountable for this war.

    “Look, Petrov. If we just had one good public execution, the Russian people would be on our side again… you know, we need to show progress…”

    Hi, I’m a time traveler, here to tell you that both Boris and Petrov got shot in the face about 5 minutes ago.

    We are now currently experiencing the beginning of the slow downfall of Russian hierarchy, and for the first time in a long while we’ll be seeing heads on sticks in Moscow.

    This is the beginning of Putin’s “Vlad Era”, when the pike was turned inwards…
