On June 7, 2022, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced that it had uncovered an "agent of the Russian Federation".

The fault of a resident of Kyiv is that he "created 20 pro-Russian Internet publications in Ukraine" in order to "spread pro-Russian sentiments as much as possible."

The total audience of these resources, according to the SBU, was more than 2.2 million unique users per month.

The SBU informed the detained "agent" of suspicion of "manufacturing and distributing materials that justify or deny Russia's aggression" (Article 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The detainee faces 5 years in prison.

The SBU does not name the "agent".
