Russia lists Ukrainian president as wanted criminal

MOSCOW

Russia's Interior Ministry on Saturday added Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesnkyy on the country's wanted list under an article of the national Criminal Code.

About 800 days into the Russia-Ukraine war, a bulletin for Zelenskyy's arrest appeared on the ministry's database of wanted people with the notice "wanted under a Criminal Code article," though which article was not specified.

The ministry also published a bulletin for Zelenskyy's predecessor Petro Poroshenko, also wanted under an unspecified article of the Criminal Code.

Zelesnkyy has been serving as Ukraine's president since 2019. Poroshenko headed the country in 2014-2019.
