What happens if I am arrested abroad based on a Ukrainian Interpol notice?

Upon arrest, you will typically be brought before a local court within 24–72 hours for a detention hearing. The arresting state will contact Ukrainian authorities to confirm whether a formal extradition request will follow. You have the right to oppose extradition in the local courts while simultaneously challenging the underlying Interpol notice at the CCF. These are parallel proceedings — a successful CCF deletion does not automatically end extradition, but it significantly weakens Ukraine’s position and can influence the local court’s assessment of the request’s legitimacy.
