The Russian Investigative Committee has placed the commander of the Ukrainian Drone Forces, Robert Browdi, known by the call sign Madyar, on the international wanted list. Madyar himself reported this on Facebook.
Browdi noted that the decision was made on December 5. The Russian side accuses him of "terrorism" and the "killing of war correspondent" Hanna Prokofieva.
Browdi published information from Russian propaganda sources, which state that the Investigative Committee is charging him in absentia with involvement in the death of the First Channel correspondent. According to the Russian investigation, she died as a result of a "terrorist act in the Kursk region," and Browdi allegedly gave the order to remotely mine roads in the area.
The agency claims that "the explosion of the vehicle carrying Russian citizens, including the war correspondent," was the result of this order. After this, Madyar was placed on the international wanted list, and the case against him was described as "almost completed."
Browdi reacted to the accusations with irony, quoting the phrase: "Remember too, worms, in your swampy language that you understand: 'Annushka has already spilled the oil…'."
Hungary bans Madyar from entry
It should be recalled that on August 28, it became known that Hungary had banned one of the Ukrainian commanders from entering the country due to Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian Druzhba oil pipeline. According to media reports, the officer was also restricted from entering Schengen countries.
It later emerged that the commander in question was Robert Browdi, commander of the Ukrainian Drone Forces, known as Madyar. This information was confirmed by the office of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Madyar sharply criticized Budapest's decision, emphasizing that the funds Hungary pays for Russian oil effectively support the production of missiles and drones in Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed outrage and instructed the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take appropriate diplomatic measures. Against this backdrop, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski publicly invited Madyar to visit Poland.
Later, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Hungarian ambassador and delivered a formal protest note regarding the entry ban on the Ukrainian commander.
