US-sanctioned Rybar founder detained in Montenegro; extradition risk looms
Mikhail Zvintshuk, founder of the pro-Russian military analysis channel Rybar, was detained in Risan, Montenegro, along with his wife and employees. The US had offered a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest, and Montenegro's extradition treaty with the US raises the risk of transfer. This marks a notable law-enforcement action against a prominent Russian influence figure outside Russia.
