MOSCOW: The state news agency TASS said on Saturday, using the Interior Ministry's database, that Russia has initiated a criminal case against Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, and placed him on a wanted list.
There were no more details in the entry it cited.

Since the War with Ukraine began in February 2022, Russia has issued arrest warrants for several politicians from Ukraine and other European countries.

In February, members of the previous Latvian parliament, the culture minister of Lithuania, and Estonia's prime minister, Kaja Kallas, were placed on a wanted list by Russian authorities for demolishing Soviet-era monuments.

Additionally, Russia issued an arrest order for the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), who had drafted an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin on allegations of war crimes last year.
