# Russia puts RFK Jr’s son Conor Kennedy on wanted list 2026-08-13T21:47:21+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Russia has placed Conor Kennedy, son of US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on its international wanted list, accusing him of acting as a mercenary for the Ukrainian army. A Moscow court authorised his arrest in absentia, according to Russian state media. If convicted in Russia, the 32-year-old could face seven to 10 years in prison. Kennedy joined Ukraine's International Legion in October 2022 after Russia's invasion. He described his service as life-changing and said he understood the risks. Russian authorities allege he fought near Kharkiv, though this has not been independently confirmed. The charges are largely symbolic while Kennedy remains outside Russia. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: Conor Kennedy, mercenary charges, RFK Jr, Russia, Ukraine, wanted list Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/russia-puts-rfk-jrs-son-conor-kennedy-on-wanted-list/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
