Leaders in Cyprus have a hard job. Russia wants a man. His name is Alexei Kratzgor. He is in prison in Cyprus.
Russia says Kratzgor did a big sea crime. This was in 2009. His lawyers do not agree. They say the request is very late.
The crime was about a ship. The ship was called 'Arctic Sea'. Bad men took the ship. They took sailors too. The sailors were hurt.
Alexei Kratzgor was caught in Cyprus. Russia asked for him to be arrested. They say Kratzgor planned the crime.
Kratzgor's lawyer wants Cyprus to say no. He thinks Russia waited too long. The courts will decide.
