MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has opened a criminal case against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and put him on a wanted list, the state news agency TASS reported on Saturday, an announcement Ukraine dismissed as evidence of Moscow's "desperation".

TASS reported that the Russian Interior Ministry database showed Zelenskiy was on a wanted list but gave no further details.
