Russia Escalates Tensions by Adding Ukrainian President Zelensky to Wanted List

The move, seen as largely symbolic, intensifies the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, drawing international scrutiny.

Russia's Interior Ministry places Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on its criminal 'wanted' list, citing unspecified charges.
Ukraine dismisses the action as a desperate attempt by Russia to garner attention amid escalating tensions.
The list also includes other high-profile European figures and responds to an ICC warrant for Russian President Putin.
This announcement comes as Russia continues to issue arrest warrants for Ukrainian and European officials since the 2022 conflict began.
Ukraine and international observers criticize the list's credibility, contrasting it with enforceable ICC actions against Russia.
