Although Yarosch was offered various positions in the formation of the government, he was not a member of the newly formed Ukrainian government at the end of February 2014.
War in Ukraine
The Russian public prosecutor's office has been investigating Jarosch since March 3, 2014 because of an alleged appeal by Yarosch to the Chechen terrorist leader Doku Umarow in support of Ukraine to “activate the fight against Russia”. A spokesman for Yarosch had told Radio Liberty that the alleged call was part of a dirt campaign that the website had been hacked . On March 5, 2014, the Russian authorities wrote Yarosch for "incitement to terrorism" to be searched internationally.
