Kyiv's Pechersky District Court will consider a petition on the arrest of Russian businessman Konstantin Malafeyev, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Russian State Duma deputies Gennady Zyuganov, Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Sergei Mironov, and after that they will be placed on the interstate and international wanted list, the Prosecutor General's Office has reported.

"The suspects have currently been put on the state wanted list. The procedural head yesterday agreed the petition on choosing the measure of restraint in the form of detention, which was sent today to the Pechersky District Court," Prosecutor General's Office spokesman Yuriy Boichenko said at a briefing on Tuesday.

Boichenko recalled that 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.

The Ukrainian Interior Ministry placed Mironov, Zhirinovsky and Zyuganov on the wanted list on August 4.

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.
