Russia Issues Arrest Warrants for Zelensky, European Politicians, and ICC Prosecutor
Russia has initiated a criminal investigation against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and included him in their wanted list, according to the Russian state news agency TASS, which referenced the Interior Ministry's database.
The details of the case against Zelensky were not provided in the report.
This action comes after Russia has issued arrest warrants for several Ukrainian and European politicians since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began in February 2022.
Notable individuals on this list include Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Lithuania's culture minister, and members of the previous Latvian parliament, who were wanted for allegedly destroying Soviet-era monuments.
Additionally, Russia issued an arrest warrant for the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, who prepared a warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on war crimes charges last year.
These developments highlight the escalating tensions between Russia and its neighboring countries, as well as international organizations.
