Ostap Stakhiv — what is known about him

In November 2021, Stakhiv — one of the main anti-vaccinators of Ukraine — was suspected of plans to overthrow the constitutional order. Then Stakhiv denied the official information about the coronavirus on social networks. He was released from pre-trial detention on bail of one million hryvnias.

In February 2024, the Babel publication reported that the Lviv blogger, after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, created a network against mobilization. In his videos, he said that the CCK «kidnaps and tortures people», and — builds concentration camps.

On July 23, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that it had detained a provocateur and seven of his accomplices who called for armed resistance mobilization. The media reported at the time that it was an associate of anti-vaccination activist Ostap Stakhiv—Zhan Novoseltsev, who once worked as a correspondent on Channel 1+1. He was sent to custody on bail of 242 thousand hryvnias.

On September 25, Stakhiv was informed of suspicion of leaking information about the deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
