Arestovich was arrested in absentia by a Russian court

The former adviser to the Office of the President was arrested in absentia by the district court of the Basmanny District in Moscow.

He is accused of criminal charges of calls for terrorist activities and public dissemination of knowingly false information about the Russian army, says the propaganda media report.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs put him on the international wanted list. In particular, one of the Kremlin agencies reported that last year Rosfinmonitoring added Alexey Arestovich to the “list of terrorists and extremists.”

What is known about the scandalous ex-official

Until January 2023, Alexey Arestovich was a freelance adviser to the head of the OP Andrei Ermak. However, commenting on the tragedy in the Dnieper on January 14, he said that the missile that hit a residential building was shot down by Ukrainian air defense.

Subsequently, the Air Force denied this. They explained that the invaders attacked the house with an X-22 missile, and the Ukrainian military did not have the means to shoot it down.

The corresponding statement by Arestovich greatly outraged the network. Therefore, he subsequently began to make excuses and asked for forgiveness from the victims and relatives of those killed as a result of the terrorist attack on the Dnieper. And a few days later he wrote a letter of resignation.

Arestovich repeatedly got into scandals because of his outrageous statements. For example, in September 2023, former adviser to the Office of the President Alexey Arestovich taught men about sexism and violence against women at closed “psychological” seminars. In his statements, he openly despised women and encouraged them to behave cruelly with them.

Previously, he also proposed renaming Ukraine into the “United Lands of Ukraine”. The speaker of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group, Arestovich, said that Ukraine in this regard seems to be very similar to Germany and Austria. They measure everything by land. In addition, he encouraged renaming the Ukrainian language into Russian, and Ukraine into Rus-Ukraine. This would supposedly help fight Russian propaganda.

In particular, Arestovich stated that “the ATO is a big resort for boys, a big camp for pioneers.” They supposedly run away from their wives and children there. The TCG representative also noted: he allegedly did not see a single unfortunate military man in Donbass.

Where is Arestovich now: briefly< /h2>

• According to NGL.media journalists, Arestovich crossed the border with Poland on September 4 through the Krakovets-Korchova checkpoint. He has not returned to Ukraine for about five months.
• Now the ex-adviser lives in New York in the USA. However, in one of his interviews, Alexey Arestovich said that he “really misses Ukraine” and “will no doubt return.” According to the ex-adviser to the head of the OP, he will do this after he completes all his affairs in the USA, and then implements projects in Europe.
