The Russian Federation has put the Ukrainian president on the wanted list for an unnamed "Article of the Criminal Code"

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has put the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky on the wanted list – the corresponding wanted card has appeared in the department's database. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry commented.

The card of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation indicates that “Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky is wanted under an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation” – the article of the criminal case is not listed in the database. It also indicates the date and place of birth of Zelensky, his nationality.

Since May 20, 2019, Vladimir Zelensky has been the President of Ukraine and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the country, which has been resisting full-scale Russian military aggression for more than 2 years, notes euronews. The Russian Federation has also put ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on the wanted list – what he is accused of is also unknown. Poroshenko himself said that putting him on the wanted list in Russia is “recognition and almost a military reward.” “In the end, everything I did in recent years was highly appreciated,” he wrote on Telegram.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine named Zelensky's wanted list is “evidence of despair”:

“Russian reports about the alleged announcement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on the wanted list of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky are evidence of the desperation of the Russian state machine and propaganda, which do not know what other news reason to come up with to attract attention. Along the way, we remind you that, unlike the insignificant Russian announcements, the warrant of the International criminal court to arrest the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on suspicion of committing war crimes is quite real and is subject to execution in 123 countries of the world.”
