This Saturday, Russia declared a search and capture for the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Ukrainian president was included in the Russian Interior Ministry’s list of people wanted and captured, the official Russian agency TASS reported.
Zelensky, the ministry said, is wanted in relation to a crime contemplated in the Russian Criminal Code, without offering further details.
The lack of details about the alleged charges against the president of Ukraine could have repercussions internationally, raising concerns about Russia’s respect for international law and state sovereignty.
The relationship between Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, and Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, is marked by tension and conflict.
Since Zelensky took office in 2019, relations between the two leaders have been difficult, exacerbated by the conflict in eastern Ukraine and Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
The war in Ukraine marked this Friday 800 days since the start of the Russian invasion.
Despite efforts to end the conflict, the situation on the ground remains volatile with no clear solution in sight.
