Akhmed Zakayev appeared among those on the recently created website about Russia's enemies, "Russophobes". He was named the president of the separatist movement "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria", recognized as terrorist in the Russian Federation.
Recall that in January, the Southern District Military Court of the Russian Federation sentenced the head of the government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in exile Akhmed Zakayev in absentia to 20 years in prison. According to the Russian investigation, in July 2022, Zakayev proclaimed himself the leader of the independent Chechen Republic and created a battalion as part of the Foreign Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In June 2024, the Russian authorities put Akhmed Zakayev on the international wanted list. He was charged under Part 1 of Article 205.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (creation of a terrorist community) and Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public justification of terrorism using the Internet).
