On Friday, June 7, it became known that the former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko, was declared wanted in Russia.
This was reported by the state propaganda agency TASS.
The wanted card states that Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine, is wanted under an article of the Russian Criminal Code. However, they do not specify - according to what exactly.
We will remind you that Yulia Tymoshenko is the first woman to hold the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine. She held this position twice — in 2005 and 2007–2010.
Since 2001, Tymoshenko heads the Batkivshchyna political party. She is a People's Deputy of Ukraine for seven convocations.
She took part in the presidential elections of Ukraine three times: in 2010, 2014 and 2019.
Earlier, on May 4, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia announced that the current president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, as well as the fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, were wanted. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called this decision a sign of desperation.
Kremlin Speaker Dmytro Peskov said that Zelenskyi and Poroshenko were wanted as part of "investigations into crimes by the Ukrainian authorities."
However, a few days later, the announcements about the search for Zelenskyi and Poroshenko disappeared from the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation
