RFK Jr.’s Son Conor Kennedy Put on Russia’s Most Wanted List
Russian authorities accuse Conor Kennedy of mercenarism after he joined Ukraine’s International Legion, a charge that could bring 7 to 10 years in prison.
- On Aug 12, a Moscow court authorized the arrest in absentia of Conor Kennedy, son of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of participating in Ukraine's war as a mercenary.
- Kennedy secretly traveled to Ukraine in 2022 to join the International Legion despite lacking military experience. His father said the two disagreed on United States involvement in the war, but supported his son's convictions.
- Serving on the northeastern frontline for roughly two and a half months, Kennedy kept his identity secret to avoid special treatment. He later returned to the United States to resume law studies at Georgetown University.
- If detained, Kennedy faces a potential prison sentence of 10 years in Russia. Neither Kennedy nor his father have commented publicly on the Russian court's mercenarism charges.
- Once tabloid-famous for dating Taylor Swift in 2012, Kennedy recently announced his engagement to Brazilian singer Giulia. The warrant highlights the dramatic shift in his public profile since his 2022 military service.
