MOSCOW – Ukraine says Russia is refusing to hand over jailed Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, who was convicted of conspiracy to commit terror attacks by a Russian military court in 2015 and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Ukraine’s Deputy Justice Minister Sergiy Petukhov posted a copy of the refusal letter on Facebook on Oct. 21 in which Russia’s Justice Ministry said it was “impossible” to transfer Sentsov to Ukraine because he holds Russian citizenship.
