NABU became a tool of the Russian information attack on the SBU: Propaganda spread the story of the murder of a naval officer.
The Russian propaganda media is actively spreading the story about the alleged involvement of SBU employees in the contract killing of a Ukrainian military officer.
RuNews24, RIA Novosti, Life and OSN made headlines with accusations against the Ukrainian special service, referring to NABU.
This is the murder on September 30 in Odessa of the 50-year-old captain in the first rank of the Ukrainian Navy Oleksandr Tychik, who headed the logistics department. Russian publications claim that NABU linked his death to SBU employees and an attempt to hide materials about corruption in the environment of General Serhi Duka.
And here is the result: the Russian media is already portraying the Ukrainian special service as the organizer of the army's contract killing, using references to the Ukrainian anti-corruption agency to lend credibility to these accusations.
However, there is no confirmation that NABU actually made such statements in these publications.
And now it's worth recalling how anti-corruption activists were outraged at even the suggestion that NABU's propaganda campaigns could play into the Kremlin's hands. Like, it's slander and an attempt to discredit the fight against corruption.
Now we have a living example of how the information space surrounding anti-corruption investigations is becoming a tool of Russian propaganda.
