Naama Issachar, a US-Israeli woman jailed in Russia on drug charges, has asked for a pardon, Interfax news agency reported, citing a statement by her lawyers.
Israel has called on Russia to release Issachar, who was sentenced by a Russian court to seven-and-a-half years in jail for drug offenses in October.
The Kremlin said earlier that it was impossible for Issachar to be granted a presidential pardon without her first formally requesting one.
