The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, together with the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, has updated the “Kremlin Mouthpieces” section of the War & Sanctions portal.
According to the statement, 16 more individuals have been added to the database for systematically working in the interests of Russian propaganda—spreading disinformation, legitimizing aggression against Ukraine, and raising funds for the Russian army.
The new entries include:
- Olga Kiriy, RT Documentary journalist and author of propaganda films Azovstal (2022), I Accuse Fascism (2025), and Ukraine’s Toxic War.
- Sergey Georgiev, a war correspondent for RIA “Novosti Crimea”, appointed as the so-called “ombudsman of Kherson region” to “simplify and accelerate integration”.
- Renat Shavlo (aka Georgy Medvedev), a long-time Russian propagandist and military correspondent, author of the Telegram channel Medvedev’s Notes and books such as Mariupol: The Right to Truth and On the Military Road.

- Administrators of the Spetsnaz Archangel Telegram channel: Russian paratrooper Yevgeny Zhulidov and associates Yevgeny Aleynik, Tatyana Aksyonenko, and Alesya Lyankevich.
Since its launch in late 2023, the section has been updated seven times. It now features information on 136 individuals engaged in Russia’s information warfare.
