The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyiv reported that it had detained 31 people involved in the criminal activities of the network, suspected of distributing malicious programs for mobile phones and making money transfers to Russia.
The Kyiv Security Service (SBU) says it has exposed more than 1,000 “enemy agitators” who have been spreading fake news about the war in Ukraine since it began on February 24 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
