A Russian businessman residing in the US, Alex Konanykhin, offered a reward of a million dollars for the head of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, “as a war criminal”in full military operation in Ukraine.
“I promise to pay one million dollars to any police officer who, in carrying out his constitutional duty, arrest Vladimir Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international law”, the businessman wrote on his Facebook profile a few days ago, in a publication with a Wild West-style photo and the words “wanted dead or alive”.
The publication was deleted by the social network, as Konanykhin himself, a former banker and former member of the political circle of former President Boris Yeltsin, writes in a more recent post, where he repeats the text again but this time without the photo, he clarifies.
Konanykhin, who immigrated to the United States in the mid-1990s, also posted the information on his LinkedIn account.
“As a citizen of Russian ethnicity (he wrote in his post) I see it as my moral duty to facilitate the denazification of Russia. I will continue to help Ukraine in its heroic efforts to resist the assault of Putin’s horde,” she states in her reward offer.
“Putin is not the Russian president, since he came to power as a result of a special operation of blowing up apartment buildings in Russia, then he violated the Constitution by eliminating free elections and assassinating his opponents.”write too.
Konanykhin, 55, is a wealthy businessman who was part of a Russian delegation to the US in 1992 under President Boris Yeltsin. But he fell out with the Kremlin after it accused him of embezzling $8 million from the Russian Exchange Bank in Moscow and was granted asylum to stay in the US in 2007.
“I will continue to help Ukraine in its heroic efforts to resist Putin’s attack.” After Facebook reportedly banned the post, Konanykhin elaborated further: “Some reports suggest that I promised to pay for Putin’s assassination. Is not correct. While such an outcome would be applauded by millions of people around the world, I believe that Putin must be brought to justice.” (I)
