An ex-employee of the Mariupol TV channel became a propagandist for the Russian Federation — she was informed of the suspicion

The Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported in absentia the suspicion of a former employee of the Mariupol TV channel. The investigation established that the woman is shaping the information policy in the occupied city, which falls under the article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on collaborationism.

In 2023, without hiding her anti-Ukrainian views, the woman began working for Russia and headed the propaganda media «Mariupol-24».

«The pseudo-head shapes the editorial policy of the fake resource, selects topics and speakers for pro-Russian news stories. The suspect justifies the Kremlin's actions regarding a full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, the TV presenter emphasizes the “advantages” of life in the “DPR” and emphasizes the “positive changes” that allegedly occurred after the occupation of the city,» — the Donetsk region prosecutor's office reported.
