No other information was provided by the Russian Interior Ministry database, however, the state news agency TASS stated that Zelenskiy was on a wanted list.
Concurrently, Zelenskyy was the subject of a criminal investigation by Russia.
Kiev brushed off the report, calling it proof of Moscow’s “desperation” in responses.
According to the Ukrainian foreign ministry, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is wanted by the International Criminal Court.
We would like to remind you that, contrary to the meaningless Russian announcements, an International Criminal Court warrant is in existence and may be enforced in 123 countries for the arrest of Russian ruler Vladimir Putin on suspicion of war crimes.
“Evidence of the desperation of the Russian state machine and propaganda, which can think of no other way to attract attention” was the ministry’s interpretation of Russia’s declaration.
Several leaders from Ukraine and other European countries were wanted by Russia in February 2022.
In February, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas of Estonia, the Minister of Culture of Lithuania, and several members of the former Latvian parliament were placed on a wanted list by Russian authorities for the alleged destruction of Soviet-era monuments.
