A team of cyber specialists from the Security Service identified three Internet agitators operating in the Kyiv and Kharkov regions, representing the aggressor country.
The attackers called the armed aggression of the Russian Federation an “internal civil conflict” in Ukraine, discredited Ukrainian soldiers and incited religious hatred. This is stated in a message from the press service of the SBU.
To conduct information and subversive activities in favor of the occupiers, their henchmen used their own accounts on social networks and popular instant messengers.
There they published “authored” destructive content or reposted anti-Ukrainian calls from pro-Kremlin provocateurs from Ukraine and Russian “top” propagandists.
So, in Kyiv:
A 42-year-old ally of the coordinator of mass riots near the Kiev Pechersk Lavra was exposed.
During these events this spring, she called on people to resist the lawful actions of law enforcement officers. It was established that the defendant “dispersed” hostile propaganda through her own pages on Facebook and Telegram with a total audience of almost 5 thousand subscribers.
In the Kiev region:
The illegal activities of a resident of Boyarka were documented, who spread Kremlin narratives about the “united Moscow church” in Ukraine and thereby tried to undermine the internal political situation in the capital region.
To disseminate provocative messages, he administered his own pages on Facebook, Telegram and Viber, as well as on the banned Odnoklassniki and VKontakte with a total audience of 5 thousand users.
Also, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the attacker wrote an application to the “Department of the President of Russia for working with appeals from citizens and organizations” to obtain citizenship of the aggressor country.
In Kharkov:
The criminal activities of a 47-year-old local resident who posted fake stories about the war in Ukraine by Russian “military correspondent” Alexander Sladkov on social networks were blocked.
In addition, during the battles for Mariupol, she distributed a video fabricated by the occupiers, in which they wanted to discredit the defenders of Azovstal.
Now, on two facts exposed in the capital region, materials have been sent to court, on others, a pre-trial investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime and bring them to justice.
The investigation was carried out by SBU officers in Kiev and the Kyiv and Kharkov regions under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office.
