The editor-in-chief of the Zaporizhzhia website inform.zp.ua Eric Brynza receives threats from Russian numbers to his Telegram account. He reported about it to the representative of IMI in the Zaporizhzya region.
Eric Brynza said he had received the first message from an unknown number with a Russian code on March 30. In particular, it read: “In fact, every piece published on your resource constitutes a crime under several articles of the Criminal Code. When Russian troops occupy your city and liberate it from the Banderites, you will be held accountable for the crimes of the trash hole you work for. Get ready, it will happen soon.”
The next day, on March 31, the editor-in-chief received a new message from another Russian number, saying that “Russian soldiers” would soon be in the city, releasing it from the “Banderites” again. To do this, the author writes, “the Russian army is regrouping its troops in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions and then will go on the offensive.” “You will have to answer for the replication of anti-Russian fakes and for discrediting the Russian Federation. You will be responsible for all this under Russian law. Your curators from the SBU and Zelensky’s gang will not help you. You will be in jail! ” threatened the sender.
On April 3, Eric Brynza received a new message, following the same pattern. “Every time you publish anti-Russian fakes in the pages of your “media” in favor of the neo-Nazi propaganda of Zelensky’s puppet regime, remember that soon the Russian army will establish control over all liberated cities of Ukraine and you will have to answer for their criminal actions,” it is said in the message.
