Igor Girkin has been part of the war in Ukraine since 2014. Now he's back on the frontlines and Ukraine has put a bounty on his head.

Ukrainians have crowdfunded a bounty of $100,000 for the capture of Igor Girkin, a Russian who acted as an insurgent leader in the Donetsk region of Ukraine back in 2014. Girkin stayed in Russia for years, but recently started bragging about being back in Ukraine on social media. He's an odd and dangerous man—a historical cosplayer, a personal fabulist, and a credibly-accused war criminal.

The campaign to capture Girkin began after his wife, Myroslava Reginska, posted a picture of him in military uniform on his Telegram. Girkin, a prolific poster, had been offline for a few days and people had begun to wonder where he was. "To answer the question, where is Igor Ivanovich," she said in the post, using one of Girkin's many names. "All is well! Be in touch soon." In a poster later on in the channel, Girkin confirmed that he's been back in the military since October 14, 2022.

The response from Ukrainians to this information was swift. Ukrainian activist and vlogger Serhii Sternenko offered to pay $10,000 for Girkin's capture, with Ukrainian tennis star Sergiy Stakhovsky and Ukrainian regional governor Serhiy Hayday adding their own money to the pile.
