Yuriy Filatov, Russia's ambassador to Ireland, stated, "We are not generally very welcome for, you know, criminal characters. Criminals should be in prison. But for that to happen, we have to have instruments." He emphasized the need for legal frameworks to effectively address transnational crime, acknowledging discussions with the Irish government concerning a potential extradition treaty prior to geopolitical shifts. His remarks suggest that while criminals may consider fleeing to Russia, the country does not intend to become a refuge for them.
Filatov remarked, "The initiative of the Irish Government our relations essentially have been frozen, including the political dialogue." He outlined the diplomatic stasis resulting from political tensions while suggesting that the potential extradition of criminals remains a priority in future relations between Russia and Ireland. The call for a treaty reflects a recognition of the international nature of modern crime and the necessity for collaborative legal efforts to combat it.
