Ukraine is a signatory nation of the Bern Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.  The US is as well.  As such, the US can pursue in signatory countries those who violate the copyrights of citizens of the US.  Ukraine could, if they so desired, pursue a US citizen for violations of Ukrainian copyright.

He was in Poland though, did Ukraine gave permission to arrest him or something? Anyway it makes more sense knowing that, thanks for the information.

Poland is also a signatory nation.  So that's not much of an issue.  But yes, the FBI would have notified Ukraine to get clearance to take him to the States for trial.  They would be pretty hard pressed to stop such a request, being a signatory nation.  And why would they bother to fight it?  This is the dude's fault and they signed the agreement.  Basically, this is pretty SOP.
