SSU Informs Kremlin's 'War Correspondent' of Suspicion in Luhansk.

Russian 'war correspondent' Vyacheslav Yakovenko, who spread false information about the situation on the front, was detained in the occupied Luhansk, reports the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to law enforcement officers, Yakovenko presented himself as a 'war correspondent', preparing commissioned stories and filming 'live broadcasts' from the front line. All this was merely a cover, as he himself was hiding more than 100 kilometers from the front line where he spread fakes about the fighting.

In addition, he used his Telegram channel with an audience of over 30 thousand users to spread Russian propaganda. In his messages on the channel, he tried to discredit Ukrainian defenders and glorify the occupiers, particularly those who captured Lysychansk.

The Security Service of Ukraine established that Yakovenko joined the terrorist group 'Vostok 13', which operated in the occupied territory of Luhansk region, back in 2014. After its official integration, this group became part of the Russian Southern Military District units, and Yakovenko became a propagandist.

Law enforcement officers informed Yakovenko of suspicion of collaborationism.

It should be noted that Mykola Cherkashin, a collaborator and Kremlin propagandist in the occupied territory of Donetsk region, who heads the media holding 'DNR', was also informed of suspicion.

Also, according to another news, the organizing committee of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris revoked accreditations for propagandists of the Russian agency tass.ru. Three of them managed to attend the opening ceremony and some Olympic events.
