Noted Russian actor Aleksei Panin, who since 2020 has lived in Spain, has been added to Russia's wanted list on unspecified charges. The information appeared on the Interior Ministry's website on May 22. In early May, Russian authorities launched a probe against the actor on a charge of "justifying terrorism." The charge stems from an online post by Panin in October in which he expressed his support for an explosion that seriously damaged the Kerch Bridge connecting Ukraine's occupied Crimea region with Russia. Panin has openly criticized Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, launched in February last year. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
