The Security Service has detained another four pro-kremlin internet agitators who operated in several regions of Ukraine. The perpetrators justified russia’s armed aggression and denied the war crimes committed by russian forces.

In Chernihiv, a 41-year-old local court secretary was detained for calling on russian forces to carry out massive strikes on Ukrainian cities, including civilian infrastructure.

She regularly discussed this with her russian acquaintances, with whom she spoke on the phone.

In Kyiv, a 24-year-old local unemployed man was exposed. On FSB’s orders, he was supposed to disseminate leaflets with fake kremlin propaganda.

To carry out this task, the young man received an electronic layout of the flyer from the occupiers. Among other things, the image contained a QR code that directed users to an anti-Ukrainian online community.

The SSU detained him when he ordered the printing of the first batch of 900 pro-russian leaflets at a printing house.

A 56-year-old resident was apprehended in Kharkiv. He created a channel on the russian platform Rutube to call on ruscists to seize the region.

The man also administered a Telegram channel where he promoted russian occupation forces and tried to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In Vinnytsia region, a 60-year-old resident of Haisyn district was detained. On his page on the banned social network Odnoklassniki, he wrote posts in support of the occupation of eastern regions of Ukraine.

Forensic linguistic examinations initiated by the SSU confirmed the facts of the perpetrators’ subversive activities against Ukraine.
