REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MOSCOW -- Russia is likely to decline any request to extradite ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, Interfax news agency reported on Monday, citing a source familiar with situation.

Interpol has put Yanukovich on the international wanted list on Ukrainian charges of embezzlement and financial wrong-doing, according to a notice published on the international police organisation's website.

Yanukovich has been living in Russia since being ousted by street protests almost a year ago.
