UKRAINIAN troops and pro-Ukrainian activists have faced death threats, threats of rape against relatives, and terrible online abuse. Their personal information was shared on pro-Moscow social channels, a BBC investigation has found. “We were among those few citizens who tried to physically oppose the Russian invasion of our town,” recalls Oleksii from Berdyansk, a Russian-occupied Ukrainian port city. Oleksii and his wife Anastasiya launched a Molotov cocktail at a Russian armoured vehicle travelling through their city. They immediately went into hiding. The BBC has discovered that the “Work, brothers” channel and another pro-Moscow channel, “Tribunal”, has shared the private details of roughly 300 Ukrainian activists, soldiers and their relatives, to more than 120,000 subscribers. Both social channels were created on March 1, 2022. Read our Ukraine-Russia live blog below for the latest updates…
