Conor Kennedy Placed on Russia's Most-Wanted List Over Ukraine Fighting Allegations
Conor Kennedy, son of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former boyfriend of Taylor Swift, has been placed on Russia's international wanted list. A Moscow court charged him in absentia with acting as a mercenary while fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in 2022, facing a potential 7 to 10-year prison sentence under Russian law. Kennedy reportedly joined Ukraine's International Legion and returned in October 2022. The court ruling was upheld after a closed-door appeal, with his defense contesting the decision.
