Mayor's appeal to the SBU

In his appeal to the head of the SBU, Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov stated that blogger Lachenkov had once again joined a hostile Russian disinformation attack against the city.

Sources of fake news

Following Russian special services, Lachenkov spread false information about the existence of a "criminal case against the Dnipro City Mayor for high treason".

The source for the blogger and other fake news distributors was the London Insider website. British media previously exposed this resource as an RF-linked "dumping ground" for spreading false news about Western companies in Ukraine.

In Ukraine, this lie was picked up by UNIAN and other media outlets which, according to the source, belong to the media holding of oligarch Kolomoyskyi. Kolomoyskyi himself is currently in custody on suspicion of committing especially grave crimes.

Previous attacks

Previously, information attacks against Dnipro and the city authorities were initiated by Russian propagandists. In particular, Tetyana Montyan and Diana Panchenko spread disinformation. Well-known propagandist Anatoliy Shariy spoke about an alleged "suspicion against the Dnipro City Mayor by the NABU".

Later, a fake story about "Filatov fleeing abroad" appeared. These fabrications were massively published in over twenty Russian media outlets.

Blogger's role in Ukraine

In Ukraine, these hostile information attacks were synchronously supported and amplified on social media by blogger Lachenkov. He is fictitiously reserved from mobilisation by former Defence Minister Fedorov.

Lachenkov is linked to the SBU's information network, and his loyal attitude from the Office of the President is also noted.
