Foreign Affairs: Russia has named Mykhailo Drapatyi, the new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, on a wanted list, according to a Russian Interior Ministry database updated on Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported today.
The decision came hours after Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced the appointment of Drapatyi to replace Oleksandr Syrsky as the country’s top military commander.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said it had previously filed criminal charges against Drapatyi, accusing him of commanding the joint forces’ operations between 2017 and 2019, during which Ukrainian forces allegedly carried out shelling attacks on settlements in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
It is worth noting that Drapatyi previously served as the commander of the Ukrainian ground forces and the commander of the joint forces.
