Propaganda TV channel Perviy Respublikansky, which speaks from occupied Donetsk, called the kidnapped online extremists. They ran a blog on Instagram, which is banned in Russia; the host called it “a hotbed of Russophobia and Ukrainian extremism.” Later, they made TikTok accounts.
Their blog was quite popular, and their videos were getting a lot of views.
“The actions of the mentioned persons were not detrimental to the ‘state security of Kherson oblast,’ therefore, after an according talk, they were issued an official warning,” the host said.
He also added that in case of further “public activity” they would face criminal liability.
