Ex-presidential advisor Arestovych put on Russian list of “terrorists”
Russia has put Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych on the list of “terrorists and extremists,” Russian propaganda agency RIA Novosti reported on May 11.
The relevant list is compiled by Rosfinmonitoring or Russia’s Federal Financial Monitoring Service.
“Arestovych Oleksiy Mykolaiovych, born on Aug. 3, 1975, the town of Tsiteli-Tskaro, Georgian SSR,” reads the report.
In response, Arestovych tweeted the Ukrainian idiom “Little fish are sweet,” meaning that the designation is a minor detail, but nice to hear.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
