Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev is on a list of wanted persons compiled by Ukrainian security officials

In a statement, the security service said Mr Medvedev was wanted under a section of the criminal code dealing with attempts to undermine Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Other prominent Russians on the wanted list included Defence minister Sergei Shoigu and the chairman of the lower house of parliament.

The statement also said other prominent Russians on the wanted list included defence minister Sergei Shoigu, and Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of the lower house of parliament.

“The Security Service of Ukraine confirms that Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia’s Security Council and former president of the aggressor state, is declared a wanted person,” the SBU said in a statement.

“This occurred in March 2022 at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale aggression.”

It’s not clear why Ukrainian authorities are making the list public now.
