The arrest of a Russian national in the Czech Republuc at the US' request is proving that Washington is "hunting" for Russians abroad, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, Sputnik reports.
On Tuesday, Czech police said it detained an alleged Russian hacker, who was believed to participate in cyberattacks on the United States, jointly with the FBI.
"This is not the first time [Russian citizens were detained abroad at the US' request]. What happened was another proof of the "hunt" by the US law enforcement authorities for Russian citizens around the world," Zakharova said.
Moscow works with Czech authorities not to let the extradition of the Russian citizen, Evgeny Nikulin, to the United States, she said.
