"The Russian is in mortal danger if he is extradited to Ukraine," TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, Rakhiotis said that the Russian energy expert Yevgeny Kalinin was detained in Greece at the request of Ukraine.

According to the lawyer, Ukraine accuses Kalinin of violating tax laws, while Rakhiotis is convinced that “this case is political”, and the Russian is on the list of the Peacemaker website.

As noted, the Russian Embassy provides assistance to Kalinin, a detainee in Greece.
