Does the US even have an extradition treaty with Russia? If not, there's nothing to "press" Putin about. Protocol would first be to have the Justice Dept and the State Dept work with their Russian counterparts to either come to an non-precedent-setting agreement about the indicted individuals, or work toward an extradition treaty.
