Russia has opened a criminal case against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and put him on a wanted list, the state news agency TASS reported on Saturday, May 5, an announcement Ukraine dismissed as evidence of Moscow’s “desperation.”
According to TASS, the Russian Interior Ministry database showed Zelenskiy was on a wanted list but gave no further details.
Ukraine’s foreign ministry in a statement said Russian President Vladimir Putin is also subject to arrest under an International Criminal Court warrant.
“We would like to remind you that, unlike the worthless Russian announcements, an International Criminal Court warrant for the arrest of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on suspicion of war crimes is quite real and subject to implementation in 123 countries,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
It said the Russian announcement was “evidence of the desperation of the Russian state machine and propaganda, which can think of no other way to attract attention”.
