Russian propagandists are spreading information about the alleged murder of Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed Al-Alavi, who published material about the "villa of Zelenskyi's mother-in-law."
Russia is spreading a fake about a murdered journalist who does not exist
As noted, the Center recorded a new wave of reports about the alleged murder of "journalist Mohammed Al-Alavi", who published material about "Zelenskyi's mother-in-law's villa".
However, the news about the murder of an investigative journalist is as much a fiction as the existence of the journalist himself, since such a person does not exist.
By spreading such fakes, according to the CPD, Russian propaganda tries to discredit Ukraine and, in particular, President Zelenskyi personally, and also spreads the myth about the “absence” of freedom of speech in Ukraine and large-scale censorship.
The Russian Federation uses foreign journalists for propaganda against Ukraine
As part of Operation Perun, the Russian Federation plans to involve foreign journalists, media persons and bloggers in order to justify aggression against Ukraine and cover the situation around Ukraine from positions favorable to the Kremlin.
So, earlier, the CPD reported on the American journalist Fiorella Isabel. Propaganda media call her an American journalist, but she herself does not hide that she works for the RT channel.
In social networks, Isabel covers events in the world, in particular in Ukraine and the Middle East, in the light of Kremlin propaganda.
Also, a journalist originally from Iceland, Haukur Haukson, trying to discredit Ukraine, spread Kremlin fakes about "US biolaboratories" and "Nazis".
In addition, after the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Kyiv region, Haukson called the shocking reports about the atrocities of the occupiers in Buch "the theater of the dead" and "a well-thought-out fake."
