Russia's Wanted List: Ukrainian and NATO Leaders Targeted

Russia has added Ukraine's ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko to its wanted list, among other notable leaders from Ukraine and NATO, citing unspecified criminal charges. The list, which includes Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, points to rising international tensions.

In a significant development, Russia has placed former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on its wanted list, according to reports from Russian state media. Citing the Interior Ministry's database, this move marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict.

The state news agency Tass confirmed that Tymoshenko is now wanted on unspecified criminal charges. This recent addition follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, who have been listed since at least late February. Notable figures from NATO countries, including Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, are also on this list.

The inclusion of Kallas is particularly striking, given her vocal support for increasing military aid to Kyiv and imposing stricter sanctions on Moscow. Russian authorities have attributed her wanted status to Estonia's efforts to dismantle Soviet-era monuments, seen by many as symbols of past oppression. This list also features other officials from Estonia, Lithuania, and even the International Criminal Court prosecutor responsible for a warrant against President Vladimir Putin on war crimes charges last year.
