TASS reports Russia adds Ukraine’s Zelenskiy to wanted list | World News

Russia has escalated tensions with Ukraine by issuing arrest warrants for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. According to a report by the state news agency TASS, Russia has put Zelenskiy on a wanted list, citing the Interior Ministry’s database.

This move comes as part of a series of actions taken by Russia against Ukrainian and other European politicians since the conflict with Ukraine began in February 2022. Previously, Russian police had put Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Lithuania’s culture minister, and members of the previous Latvian parliament on a wanted list for allegedly destroying Soviet-era monuments.

In addition to targeting Zelenskiy, Russia has also issued an arrest warrant for the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor who had prepared a warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on war crimes charges last year.

The escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine have raised concerns about the potential for further conflict in the region. The arrest warrant for Zelenskiy is likely to further strain relations between the two countries and could have far-reaching implications for the stability of the region.

As the situation continues to unfold, the international community will be closely monitoring developments and working towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
