Russian writer included in the list of individuals threatening Ukraine's national security.

The National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting has included Russian writer and poet Alexander Pelevin in the list of persons who pose a threat to national security. The decision was made in response to his public support for Russia's aggression against Ukraine and his denial of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state.

Pelevin incites hatred and hostility against the Ukrainian people, denies war crimes on the territory of Ukraine, and has actively participated in anti-Ukrainian activities of the occupying state aimed at justifying aggression and the occupation of Ukrainian territories. He also makes derogatory remarks about Ukraine's western partners.

The National Council will appeal to the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine to request the inclusion of Pelevin in the list of undesirable persons.

Aleksandr Pelevin publishes on several Russian media platforms as well as on resources banned in Ukraine.
