SBU cyber specialists blocked the extensive network of agitprops who disseminated information via the Internet to the detriment of Ukraine's state security. The offenders tried to destabilize the situation in different regions on the eve of the May holidays.

In the city of Kyiv, the SBU exposed a native of Donetsk region who called for the seizure of state power and joining the IAFs. He posted information on several accounts on social networks.

During the searches of the offender’s residence, law enforcement officers found computer equipment and electronic media with evidence of illegal activities.

He is currently received a suspicion notice of public appeals to violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or take-over of government, and dissemination of materials with any appeals to commit any such actions.
