Petrovsky, 37, was detained at Helsinki Airport in July 2023 as he headed for Nice in southern France with his family. He had managed to enter Finland despite a EU-wide entry ban with the help of a new identity, local media reported.

Finland’s Supreme Court in December 2023 ruled that Petrovsky cannot be extradited to Ukraine — where he faces an arrest warrant on suspicion of participating in a terrorist organisation — citing the risk of inhumane prison conditions there.

Finnish prosecutors said on Thursday that the country has an obligation to try Petrovsky.

The trial is expected to start on 5 December and last until the end of January 2025.
