Person:notes | Therefore, he is responsible for actively supporting or implementing, actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine, and for obstructing the work of international organisations in Ukraine. Modest Kolerov is co-founder of the REGNUM portal, which he has used to spread aggressive and biased propagandist narratives against Ukraine, and to promote a positive attitude to the annexation of Crimea and the actions of separatists in Donbas. He often depicted Ukraine as fascist or neo-Nazi country, and a pro-Western puppet. He stated that Ukraine had been artificially created by Lenin and Stalin. According to his publications, Ukraine owes its independence to Russia and thus it deserves no right to be a sovereign state. He also suggested that Russia should put an end to Ukraine’s existence. Furthermore, he proposed to divide Ukraine between its neighbours and threatened that an independent Ukraine would be a threat to Russia. He actively advocated for the recognition of so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic” and “Luhansk People’s Republic”, and for more Russian actions in favour of the separatists in Eastern Ukraine. He negated proof of Russian military support for the separatists, and depicted the OSCE’s mission in Eastern Ukraine, as biased and subordinate to Kyiv. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-50888 | ||||
