On Sunday, the Russian Foreign Ministry told Sputnik that Moscow had recently handed over a note on the fight against terrorism to Kiev through and established channel in Minsk. Earlier in the day, the ministry said that it had conveyed to Ukraine its demand that those involved in terrorist attacks on Russian territory, including Ukrainian Security Service head Vasyl Malyuk, be arrested and ceded to Moscow.
"Russia intends to appeal to international courts. The relevant documents are now being prepared, and our country is going through the relevant mandatory procedures," Zakharova told the Channel One broadcaster.
The note sent to Ukraine with demands to extradite those involved in organizing the terrorist attacks does not contain provisions related to the attack on Crocus City Hall, as the investigation into the attack must be completed first, the diplomat said, adding that an additional appeal will be drawn up, based on the results of the probe.
