In city of Chernihiv, SBU exposed a foreign agitator attempting to create a local group propagandizing a war of aggression.

Allegedly, a citizen of a post-Soviet country, living in Ukraine, used the Internet to distribute spread calls for illegal actions. The attacker posted in his profile information about the possible domination of the so-called “Slavic state” over other ethnic groups. He also disseminated provocative articles affronting the honor and dignity of the national minorities.

Reportedly, the propagandist was involved in Russian radical group.
