The Security Service of Ukraine has exposed 12 pro-Russian agitators in different regions of Ukraine, believed to have been spreading anti-Ukrainian content on social media.
That’s according to the SBU press office, Ukrinforom reports.
Two Poltava-based enemy propagandists face eight years in prison. One of them is an employee of a local critical infrastructure facility who “glorified” a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the SBU notes.
Another culprit "promoted" on social media the idea of erecting monuments to Chechen leader and Putin’s ally Ramzan Kadyrov in Ukrainian cities.
In Dnipropetrovsk region, a former local businessman was exposed for heroizing the notorious Wagner Group and justifying their participation in the storming of Ukrainian towns in the east of Ukraine. He spread destructive "slogans" across social media, as well as in communication with his friends.
An entire "cell" of pro-Russian agitators was neutralized in Donetsk region. It consisted of four local residents who praised the militants with the “LPR/DPR” terrorist organizations who have been active on the eastern front.
