A court in Moscow has issued an arrest warrant for noted media manager Ilya Krasilshchik, who lives in Berlin. In July 2022, Krasilshchik, former chief editor of the Afisha journal and the former publisher of the Meduza website, was added to Russia's wanted list after he was charged in absentia with discrediting Russian armed forces involved in Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The probe was launched after Krasilshchik published materials on the Internet about alleged atrocities committed by Russia's armed forces in the city of Bucha near Kyiv.
