Russia Places US Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s Son Conor Kennedy on Wanted List
Conor Kennedy, son of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been placed on Russia's international wanted list after a Moscow court authorized his arrest in absentia. Russian authorities accuse the 32-year-old of serving as a mercenary with Ukrainian forces during the Russia-Ukraine war, a claim not independently confirmed. Kennedy disclosed joining Ukraine's International Legion of Foreign Volunteers in 2022. If convicted, he could face seven to 10 years in prison, though he remains outside Russia, making immediate trial unlikely.
