Russia Adds Meta Spokesperson Andy Stone to Wanted List

The spokesperson of U.S. tech giant Meta, Andy Stone, has been added to Russia's criminal wanted list, according to the country's interior ministry. The reason for Stone's inclusion was not specified. Russia designated Meta as a "terrorist and extremist" organization in 2022, leading to the ban of Western social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram in the country. In addition, Russian authorities claimed to have downed 24 Ukrainian drones following a large-scale aerial attack by Russia on Ukraine.
