As the Russian invasion continues, a Russian billionaire has put a $1 million bounty for the arrest of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. The Russian billionaire Alex Konanykhin took to Facebook and flouted a poster carrying Putin’s image and text that reads “Wanted Dead or Alive – Vladimir Putin for Mass Murder”.
He also wrote a caption with the poster image which read “I promise to pay $1,000,000 to the officer(s) who, complying with their constitutional duty, arrest(s) Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international laws”. It should be noted that the post was deleted from the Meta owned platform. Later, Konanykhin put another status update on Facebook which read, “My offer is getting noticed. If a thousand people chip in a million each, it’d add up to a billion”.
