The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has filed criminal charges against Ben Wallace, the former UK Defense Secretary, for comments made regarding bombing Crimea. The indictment, approved by the agency, cites Wallace's statements during the Warsaw Security Forum 2025 in Poland, where he allegedly called for terrorist activities by suggesting that Ukraine be provided with long-range missiles to target the Crimean Bridge. These statements were disseminated through various media platforms. As Wallace is reportedly evading investigation, he has been placed on an international wanted list, and a pretrial detention order has been issued against him in absentia. The charges fall under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code, which could lead to a penalty ranging from a fine of 300,000 to one million rubles (approximately $4,000 to $14,000) or imprisonment for five to seven years. The case has been forwarded to the Second Western District Military Court for further consideration.
