Kennedy was not present at the hearing in Russia and despite the ruling, he is not expected to be arrested. The US had not yet publicly commented on the Russian decision until the last update of this report, but the Trump administration would not extradite Conor, who is also the great-nephew of former president John Kennedy. Russia is the target of international sanctions for starting the war by invading Ukrainian territory in February 2022. The Basmanny court is also the target of sanctions, by Canada, on charges of "supporting serious violations of human rights". Conor Kenned and Brazilian singer Giulia Be. Reproduction/social networks
