Ukraine Wraps up Investigation of Putin Assassination Attempt

Ukraine has finished investigating the criminal case against Kazakhstan national Ilya Pyanzin and Chechen Adam Osmayev, the individuals suspected of planning the assassination of Russia's leading politicians, including then-Prime Minister and current President, Vladimir Putin.  Russia will most likely seek to extradite the suspects via the Prosecutor General's Office after the Ukrainian court has passed judgment on them. If the suspects are sentenced to prison, Russia will probably push for them to serve their terms first in Ukraine and to then serve further punishment in Russia. The media reports that the suspects planned to assassinate Putin after the March 4 presidential elections. Pyanzin and Osmayev were arrested in Ukraine, where they were charged with planning an act of terrorism and being members of a terrorist group.
