Today, the Russian authorities added the name of the head of the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service (GUR) Kirill Budanov to the wanted list.
Moscow holds the GUR responsible for several attacks on Russia.
The name of Kirila (in Ukrainian Kirilo) Budanova (37) now appears in the database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the list of persons wanted for violations of the criminal law.
The authorities do not specify why they are charging Budanov, who has been the head of the military intelligence department in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine since 2020.
Russian authorities accuse him of organizing an attack in October 2022 that partially destroyed a bridge connecting Crimea.
In late November, Ukraine said it suspected Russia of heavy metal poisoning of Kirill Budanov's wife, Marijana Budanova, who is also an adviser to Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko.
The Kremlin rejected the accusations.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that "Ukraine always blames Russia for everything."
