The Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council have published information on six Russian public figures who support Russia’s armed aggression and are directly involved in Russia’s information war against Ukraine.
Defence Intelligence reported this on Facebook.
The information was published in the “Kremlin Mouthpieces” section of the War & Sanctions portal. Those listed include:
Sergey Tovkach — a Russian developer of unmanned systems and author of the Telegram channel “Разработчик БПЛА” (“UAV Developer”). He spreads anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, publishes materials from combat zones, organises fundraising for participants in Russia’s so-called “special military operation,” and shares technical information and advice on the use of UAVs by the Russian Armed Forces against Ukraine.
Alexey Chadayev — a Russian publicist and political strategist, adviser to the Russian transport minister and CEO of the Ushkuynik Scientific and Production Centre. He is one of the organisers of technological support for Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in the field of unmanned aerial systems.
Roman Golovanov — a correspondent with the domestic politics department of the Komsomolskaya Pravda publishing house and a presenter on the Spas and Solovyov Live television channels. He spreads destructive narratives and religious disinformation, including false claims about the alleged “persecution of the Orthodox Church and Christianity” in Ukraine.
The Kremlin Mouthpieces section of the War & Sanctions portal already contains information on nearly 200 representatives of Russian propaganda who justify Russia’s aggression and war crimes, manipulate information of public importance, spread disinformation about events on the battlefield, and seek to influence public opinion in different regions of the world.
Defence Intelligence and the Center for Countering Disinformation called on partner countries to impose personal sanctions on representatives of Russia’s propaganda apparatus, restrict their entry, freeze their financial assets, and terminate media and commercial cooperation with them.
