| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] On July 23, Russia put Yanina Sokolovskaya, former editor-in-chief of the Izvestia na Ukraine portal, on the wanted list. This is evidenced by the wanted list data on the website of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is reported that Sokolovskaya has been placed on the wanted list under an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. As reported by Regnum News Agency, on July 26, 2023, the Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Sokolovskaya on charges of disseminating fakes about the Russian Armed Forces. The agency explained that since May 2022, Sokolovskaya had been publishing deliberately false information on her Telegram channel about the actions of the Russian military against civilians in the SVO zone. On the same day, security forces conducted a search in the Moscow apartment that Sokolovskaya rented until July of last year. Sokolovskaya supported the coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014. The journalist has repeatedly participated in Russian TV shows. In 2019, host Sergei Mikheyev kicked Sokolovskaya out of the studio after she made offensive remarks about those killed in the Odessa Trade Union House during the show "Who's Against?" |
