There are years of reasons why the Ukrainians put a price on his head.
Some past threads on Igor "Streklov" Girkin:

7/16/2022: EU Marks Anniversary Of Downing Of MH17 Over Eastern Ukraine In 2014

"Russian suspect Oleg Pulatov, a former officer of the Russian Army, in 2014 headed a unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate in a region of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia-backed separatists."

"The other three defendants are Russians Sergei Dubinsky and Igor Girkin and Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko.">

1/24/2015: UKRAINE: Ex-terrorist leader Igor Girkin: “Referendum in Crimea was a farce” [VIDEO]

. "Our troops had to force the deputies into the Oblast Council hall so that these representatives would vote in favor of our initiatives. I know this because I have been at the time commandeering one of such militant teams and I've seen it all from the inside. We had absolutely no support from the people, not to mention the army. The Ukrainian army units remained loyal to Kyiv as they were. Furthermore, most of the army remained that way. The only thing that made what we have accomplished in Crimea possible was the presence of Russian army."
8/14/2014: In Ukraine, Separatist Commander 'Strelkov' Seems To Be Getting Frustrated

With Moscow placing as many as 20,000 Russian military personnel along the border with eastern Ukraine, but so far resisting his call for a full-scale "peacekeeping" mission, Girkin is now lashing out at his own supporters for the military losses."

"In a recorded video in late July, Girkin recorded an urgent call for volunteers, expressing dissapointment that so few had decided to take up arms against Kyiv."

7/22/2014: How Long Before the Kremlin Fits DPR Commander Strelkov (Igor Girkin) with a Pair of Cement Shoes?

"Live by the sword - die by the sword: The shady character running eastern Ukraine's pro-Moscow 'rebel' militia built his reputation on patriotism, guile, and cruelty: Igor Girkin -who took the non-de-guerre 'Igor Strelkov or 'Strelok' (shooter in Russian) for his part as a 'volunteer' in the Kremlin's ongoing land-grab in the Donbas- previously served as an FSB (post-1995 KGB) agent right up until March of 2013, held a top military-intelligence post in both Chechen wars, and had a finger in Crimea, Transnistria, South Ossetia, even Bosnia (where he volunteered to fight for the Serbs)."

"There are further rumors out of Ukraine that Girkin organized the snipers who shot Maidan protesters in Kiev earlier this year. Experts in Kiev say he now works directly for the GRU (Russian military intelligence)."

"But while Moscow continues to smear the democratically-elected Kiev government as 'Nazis', their boy Strelkov's the one who's actually a scary hyper-nationalist: brilliant/disciplined, he's also a ruthless kook enamored with Russian/Slavic political and military history, as well as that ever-elusive Russian 'greatness' people like him and Vladimir Putin are always daydreaming about."

Russia claims it was the people of Crimea, Donbas and Luhansk were all separating on their own. The reality is it was Russia all the way, calling for it, paying for it, leading and fighting for it. Igor Girkin was at the tip of that spear, as he was for Russian operations in the Caucasus and Southern Europe for the last thirty years. He operates in much the same way as Vladimir Zhirinovsky did as controlled opposition or the "bad cop" to more "moderate" elements in Russian politics to achieve the same goals of reestablishing the USSR.

Dozens of Russian war criminals have video evidence of their crimes filmed by themselves and they got medals pinned to their chests by Putin. Girkin is wanted for his part in taking down a civilian airliner.

The Russian prosecutors are only now going after some of those folks, like Girkin, because they’ve been critical of the military leaders in Russia. Girkin getting caught red handed lying about who shot the Malaysian plane down didn’t bother them at all. They had ample opportunity to prosecute, instead they rewarded him.

Of course not. The entire idea of MH17 investigation was based on the lack of functional AD in Ukraine. We know it wasn’t true. We know thst they like false flags.
