The Russian Ministry of Justice has added the YouTube channel “Objektiv” to its register of foreign agents. The ministry claims that this media outlet spread fake news about the decisions and policies of the Russian authorities, as well as “unreliable information aimed at creating a negative image of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.” Objektiv also opposed the military operation in Ukraine and participated in the creation and dissemination of content by “foreign agents” and “undesirable” organisations, according to the Ministry of Justice.
