The current President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, and his predecessor in this post, Petro Poroshenko, can no longer be found in the search service on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

The Russian publication Mediazona reported this today, May 9.
Wanted cards for politicians shortly after their presence was reported on May 4 by the Russian propaganda outlet RIA Novosti. Now, according to the personal data of both presidents, the site produces zero results.
As Russian journalists previously established, both presidents of Ukraine were added to the wanted list by the so-called “next part of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs” in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region – its number was indicated in the contact information. This happened no later than February 22, but the wanted cards were noticed only in early May.
It is noted that on May 6, shortly after it became known about the search for Zelensky and Poroshenko, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation made an uncharacteristic comment for the department that it was only a “technical executor” in declaring the wanted list:
In this case, the decision to place a person on the wanted list and to terminate it is made by the Skrif and its territorial divisions.
Shortly after this, the maps were removed from the site.
