As Mediaphone previously found out, both presidents of Ukraine were put on the wanted list by a regular unit of the Russian Interior Ministry in the occupied Donetsk region, whose number was listed in their contact information. It happened no later than February 22, but the wanted cards were noticed only in early May.
After the cards were discovered, on May 6, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs made an uncharacteristic comment that it was only a "technical executor" in the wanted listing: "In this case, the decision to put on the wanted list and to terminate it is made by the Russian Federation's criminal investigation service and its territorial subdivisions." Shortly afterwards, the cards were removed from the website.
