Putin Puts RFK Jr.'s Son Conor on Russia's Most Wanted List

A man named Conor Kennedy is in trouble with Russia.

Russia says he helped Ukrainian soldiers in a war, which is against Russia's rules.

Conor is part of a very famous American family.

His great-uncle was a former president of the United States.

His father works for President Trump in the US government.

Conor said on Instagram that he wanted to help Ukrainian people.

He said he was even willing to risk his life.

A court in Moscow has made an order to arrest him.

He is not in Russia right now, so he probably will not go to jail soon.

If he is found guilty, he could spend a long time in prison.
