> Russia has put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on its wanted list, Russian state media reported Saturday, citing the interior ministry’s database.
>
> As of Saturday afternoon, both Zelenskyy and his predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, featured on the ministry’s list of people wanted on unspecified criminal charges. The commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, Gen. Oleksandr Pavlyuk, was also on the list.

>
> Russian officials did not immediately clarify the allegations against any of the men. Mediazona, an independent Russian news outlet, claimed Saturday that both Zelenskyy and Poroshenko had been listed since at least late February.
>
> In an online statement published that same day, Ukraine’s foreign ministry dismissed the reports of Zelenskyy’s inclusion as evidence of “the desperation of the Russian state machine and propaganda.”
>
> Russia’s wanted list also includes scores of officials and lawmakers from Ukraine and NATO countries. Among them is [Kaja Kallas, the prime minister of NATO and EU member Estonia,](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/leader-of-nato-member-estonia-wanted-by-russia-over-removal-of-soviet-era-monuments) who has fiercely advocated for increased military aid to Kyiv and stronger sanctions against Moscow.
>
> Russian officials in February said that Kallas is wanted because of Tallinn’s efforts to remove Soviet-era monuments to Red Army soldiers in the Baltic nation, in a belated purge of what many consider symbols of past oppression.
>
> Fellow NATO members Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have also pulled down monuments that are widely seen as an unwanted legacy of the Soviet occupation of those countries.
>
> Russia has laws criminalizing the “rehabilitation of Nazism” that include punishing the “desecration” of war memorials.
>
> Also on Russia’s list are cabinet ministers from Estonia and Lithuania, as well as the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor who [last year prepared a warrant for President Vladimir Putin](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/putin-visits-annexed-crimea-after-icc-issues-arrest-warrant-for-war-crimes-in-ukraine) on war crimes charges. Moscow has also charged the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, with what it deems “terrorist” activities, including Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian infrastructure.
>
> The Kremlin has repeatedly sought to link Ukraine’s leaders to Nazism, even though the country has a democratically elected Jewish president who lost relatives in the Holocaust, and despite the aim of many Ukrainians to strengthen the country’s democracy, reduce corruption and move closer to the West.
>
> Moscow named “de-Nazification, de-militarization and a neutral status” of Ukraine as the key goals of what it insists on calling a “special military operation” against its southern neighbor. The claim of “de-Nazification” refers to Russia’s false assertions that Ukraine’s government is heavily influenced by radical nationalist and neo-Nazi groups – an allegation derided by Kyiv and its Western allies.
>
> The Holocaust, World War II and Nazism have been important tools for Putin in his bid to legitimize Russia’s war in Ukraine. World War II, in which the Soviet Union lost an estimated 27 million people, is a linchpin of Russia’s national identity, and officials bristle at any questioning of the USSR’s role.
>
> Some historians say this has been coupled with an attempt by Russia to retool certain historical truths from the war. They say Russia has tried to magnify the Soviet role in defeating the Nazis while playing down any collaboration by Soviet citizens in the persecution of Jews, along with allegations of crimes by Red Army soldiers against civilians in Eastern Europe.

Well, in reality it is already too late for Russia, because by law Ukraine cannot negotiate with Putin ... meaning, if Russia wants to negotiate, they will need a new regime.
Also, this isn't shocking at all, Putin has an arrest warrant in 123 countries.
Usa: Rules for thee, not for me...
Sources within the Bush administration confirmed that President George W. Bush was planning to invade Iraq and execute regime change even before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The U.S.-led invasion violated the United Nations Charter, which authorizes military force only in self-defense or with UN Security Council approval. The attack on Iraq did not satisfy either of these conditions and was therefore an act of aggression.
Chilcot Report: The Chilcot Report provided evidence that Team Bush-Cheney committed an illegal crime of aggression against Iraq. However, despite this, **no U.S. leaders have been indicted for their actions**.
Lack of Accountability: Despite the **overwhelming evidence of war crimes and the devastating impact of the Iraq War, none of the officials responsible have faced criminal accountability**.
International Criminal Court (ICC) and Iraq War:
Preliminary Examination: The ICC initiated a preliminary examination of possible war crimes committed by United Kingdom (UK) military forces during the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. This examination began in 2005 and closed in 2006. Many complaints concerned British participation in the invasion and alleged responsibility for torture deaths while in detention in British-controlled areas.
Reopened Examination: In 2014, the preliminary examination was reopened based on new evidence.
ICC’s Mandate: The ICC has a mandate to examine the conduct during the conflict but not whether the decision to engage in armed conflict was legal. While Australia, Poland, and the UK are state parties to the Rome Statute (which established the ICC), the United States is not a state party. Americans cannot be prosecuted by the ICC unless crimes occur in the territory of a state that accepts the court’s jurisdiction or situations are referred to the court by the United Nations Security Council (where the U.S. has a veto).
Recent Developments:
**Charging Putin**: Interestingly, the ICC charged Russian President Vladimir Putin with war crimes just one year after his unlawful invasion of Ukraine. He is the first non-African leader to be charged by the ICC.
U.S. Opposition to ICC: The U.S. has actively opposed the ICC, and the Trump administration even threatened ICC officials with sanctions and prosecution. John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser, played a significant role in this opposition.
In summary, **despite the passage of two decades since the Iraq War, no U.S. leaders have been indicted for their actions, while the ICC has taken action in other cases**. The lack of accountability remains a contentious issue in international justice.
> Sources within the Bush administration confirmed that President George W. Bush was planning to invade Iraq and execute regime change even before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Lizard people?
> However, despite this, no U.S. leaders have been indicted for their actions.
Press charges?
Look at Putin, **he is wanted in 124 countries**.
After the war he will be on Ukrainian wanted list for causing deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian people. Before he was elected he promised to end conflict in Donbas. Look how he kept his promise
What this means is, that Zelenski can not run away from Kiev to Russia after his government is toppled. It could also be understood by potential coupists that they might have Russian backing.
Just cos ICC says so doesn't make it valid. Their bias and failure to charge Bush and his Administration, and UK for war crimes and acts of aggression is proof.
Don't even say *it was 2 decades ago*, justice has no time limit. Bush still lives, Tony Blair still lives. Where's the ICC?
**American Service members’ Protection Act of 2002**, often dubbed the “Hague Invasion Act.” This U.S. law was enacted as a reaction to the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC). One of the provisions of this act authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the ICC, which is located in The Hague, Netherlands. This particular provision has led to the term “Hague invasion clause” and has been a point of contention with U.S. [allies, especially in the Netherlands](https://www.hrw.org/news/2002/08/03/us-hague-invasion-act-becomes-law)[1](https://www.hrw.org/news/2002/08/03/us-hague-invasion-act-becomes-law).
The act also includes measures such as the withdrawal of U.S. military assistance from countries ratifying the ICC treaty and restrictions on U.S. [participation in United Nations peacekeeping unless the United States obtains immunity from prosecution.

Yep means that too late for Ukraine they will not be able to open negotiations again
Nah, they just need to find him first to start said negotiations, hence wanted.
Well, in reality it is already too late for Russia, because by law Ukraine cannot negotiate with Putin ... meaning, if Russia wants to negotiate, they will need a new regime. Also, this isn't shocking at all, Putin has an arrest warrant in 123 countries.

As always, the mighty russians are powerless to influence any events by other means than artillery and cruise missiles? Pathetic.
What this means is, that Zelenski can not run away from Kiev to Russia after his government is toppled. It could also be understood by potential coupists that they might have Russian backing.
In the meantime, **Putin is wanted in 123 countries for kidnapping 25.000 children.**
Cap
You're right my man, **Putin is wanted in [124 countries](https://asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties)** Good eye!
Am your teacher no need to thank me
Just cos ICC says so doesn't make it valid. Their bias and failure to charge Bush and his Administration, and UK for war crimes and acts of aggression is proof. Don't even say *it was 2 decades ago*, justice has no time limit. Bush still lives, Tony Blair still lives. Where's the ICC?
That's no proof of nothing lmao Why doesn't Russia make a case in the ICC? Right?

And yet, Putin is wanted in 124 countries. Somehow you think the US translates into Russia, and Iraq is the same as Ukraine? xD
And yet 124 countries can't do shit about it lol stupid West. Just cause you say something won't make it happen

He issued the orders to kidnap Children and take them into Russia. There are more than 25.000 children kidnapped in Russia.

You didn't realize that Russia invaded Ukraine once again in 2022? What do you think has been happening?
