Dmytro Anatoliiovych Yarosh (Ukrainian: Дмитро Анатолійович Ярош; born 30 September 1971)[2] is a Ukrainian activist, politician, nationalist and military commander who is the main commander of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army. From 2013 to 2015, he led the Right Sector nationalist organisation,[3][4][5][6] and formerly the Right Sector's Ukrainian Volunteer Corps.[7] In late 2015, he withdrew from the Right Sector.[8] From 2014 until 2019, Yarosh served as a People's Deputy of Ukraine. In February 2016, he started a new organisation called Governmental Initiative of Yarosh (DIYA).[9]
In the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election, Yarosh received 127,772 votes (0.7% of the total).[10] He was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election from a single-seat constituency in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast by winning 29.76% of the votes.[11][12] He lost the seat in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election.
On 25 July 2015, at the request of the Russian authorities, Interpol placed Yarosh on its international wanted list.[13] Since 2 January 2016 this request no longer appears on Interpol's website.[14]
