Additional information:

A spam mailing requesting money transfers is being sent on behalf of the TV Rain host Polina Milushkova, the journalist of the TV channel Sonya Groysman, and the editor-in-chief of Republic Dmitry Kolezev. The authors of Milushkova’s fake account sent messages to at least four people. A day earlier, Russian propagandists criticised Milushkova for a fragment of a morning show in which she asked viewers the question: «How do you feel about the fact that you have to pay for the war?». An alleged supporter of aggression against Ukraine called into the air and said that he «would not spare expenses for the pig slaughter».
