The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) blocked the destructive activities of Belarus citizen Pavlo Karnazytsky, who distributed anti-Ukrainian propaganda on the territory of our country, reads the message of the SBU on Facebook.

‘The personnel of the service established that the foreigner, who lived in Ukraine illegally, was sharing fake information. In particular, during speeches on some television channels, he questioned the internationally recognized evidence of the presence of troops of the aggressor country in the temporarily occupied territories of our state,’ the SBU stated.

It is noted that Karnazytsky has repeatedly published anti-Ukrainian posts on the media sources controlled by “DNR” and “LNR” terrorist organizations.

On January 2, 2019, he was forcibly returned back to Belarus with the prohibition to enter Ukraine for three years.

SBU Chairman Vasyl Hrytsak claimed that after the introduction of restrictions on the entry of Russian citizens into Ukraine, the special services of the Russian Federation are increasingly attracting foreigners to the provocations. ‘The activity of such propagandists paid by Russia constitutes a threat not only to the national interests of Ukraine but also contradicts the legislation of their origin country,’ the head of the SBU said.
