Kyiv's Pechersky District Court has made the decision on the forced delivery to court of Russian businessman Konstantin Malafeyev, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Russian State Duma deputies Gennady Zyuganov, Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Sergei Mironov and on the selection of the measure of restraint for them in the form of arrest, Prosecutor General's Office spokesman Yuriy Boichenko has told Interfax-Ukraine.

The court issued a respective ruling on Tuesday after considering a respective motion.

"The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office will send the documents to the Russian Foreign Ministry through the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry based on which, as part of bilateral agreements, the mentioned persons will be notified of being suspects and will have to arrive in Ukraine to give testimony," Boichenko said.

He said that the court had also ruled to seize a Tigr light armored vehicle, which Zhirinovsky passed to the self-declared Luhansk People's Republic.

He noted that the Prosecutor General's Office would prepare documents for placing the Russian politicians, officials and businessman on the international wanted list.

As reported, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said on August 2 that its criminal investigation department wants to interrogate several Russian politicians on suspicion of co-financing and co-organizing illegal armed groups in eastern Ukraine.

"A message has been sent to Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov about summoning Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Gennady Zyuganov, Sergei Mironov, Sergei Shoigu and Konstantin Malofeyev for notifying them about their suspect status and interrogating them as suspects," the ministry's press service reported.

On August 1, these Russian citizens were notified of being suspects in committing a crime under Article 258 (promoting terrorist activities) and Article 260 (the creation of armed groups and their funding) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
