His hostile agitation was picked up by Internet resources of the Russian special services to shake up the situation in our state and demoralise Ukrainian soldiers at the front," the report said.
The attacker positioned himself as a "leader of public opinion". To provoke people to social unrest under the guise of "protest" rallies, the man distributed videos on YouTube. The total audience of the channel is more than 100 thousand users.
