The information presented below confirms the participation of each of the listed individuals in the Derkach tapes disinformation campaign, demonstrates the connection between them, as well as the coordinated nature of their actions.

On January 11, 2021, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a number of Ukrainian politicians and civil servants for interfering in the US presidential elections by spreading disinformation.

The decision concerned the individuals involved in the publication, legitimization and distribution of the disinformation concerning so-called “Derkach tapes”, in which allegedly Joe Biden and Petro Poroshenko discuss issues of Ukrainian politics and raise the topic of Burisma.

Members of Ukrainian parliament Andriy Derkach and Olexandr Dubinsky, ex-MP Olexandr Onishchenko, former prosecutor Kostiantyn Kulik and former employee of the US Embassy in Ukraine Andriy Telizhenko, as well as a number of Andriy Derkach’s media managers were sanctioned for participating in the Derkach tapes special operation.

In August 2020, InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community published an investigation which listed evidence showing that the Derkach tapes were a RUSSIAN SPECIAL OPERATION to interfere in the 2020 US presidential elections.

A number of individuals took part in this disinformation campaign. This was an organized group of pro-Russian TV hosts, top bloggers, politicians and media owners, Ukrainian citizens who were effectively acting in the interests of Russia. Their concerted actions to disclose, lend legitimacy and promote the Derkach tapes in the prime-time news constituted a special operation in the media sphere.

Moreover, their further statements in SUPPORT of Trump by declaring the vote count in the US elections to be dishonest and false underscored their systemic disinformation activity and its true purpose to destabilize the situation in the United States, which has already cost the lives of several American citizens.

This campaign was CLEARLY AIMED at two main target audiences: The first was the Ukrainian government, which was directly called upon to start an investigation into the so-called “Biden tapes”. An investigation of this kind could have affected the ratings of one of the US presidential candidates in the 2020 elections.

The second target audience was the US citizens who should have rejected the candidate in question, having received negative messages about him.

We are publishing here an indicative list of key individuals involved in the concerted effort to legitimize and disseminate the Derkach tapes, who have not yet been targeted by US sanctions:

1-Anatoly Shariy, a pro-Russian politician and established YouTube blogger, a frequent guest on pro-Russian channels, most of which are now under sanctions in Ukraine, together with his wife Olha Shariy, also a popular YouTube blogger, who took an active part in legitimization scheme of the Derkach tapes and in the delivery of the relevant content to the target audiences in the USA.

2-Taras Kozak, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, nominee owner of Viktor Medvedchuk’s assets (already under US sanctions). He is the nominee owner of three pro-Russian TV channels in Ukraine. In February 2021, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, acting on the decision of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, enacted personal sanctions against Kozak and against the channels belonging to him. These channels were actively used to disseminate and lend legitimacy to the stories about the Derkach tapes.

3-Oksana Marchenko, the wife of Viktor Medvedchuk, a pro-Russian politician (already under US sanctions), nominee owner of a significant part of his assets, including media.

4-Andriy Portnov, former First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration under Viktor Yanukovych, one of the main lobbyists against the development of anti-corruption infrastructure in Ukraine. Portnov is a frequent speaker of a number of pro-Russian channels, most of which are now under sanctions in Ukraine, He is also the architect of the legal argumentation scheme under the Derkach tapes.

5-Ihor Kolomoisky, Ukrainian oligarch who bought a number of assets in the United States to launder the cash withdrawn from Ukraine. Kolomoisky is the beneficial owner of the 1+1 channel (a minority stake in it is held by the aforementioned Viktor Medvedchuk), has direct influence on Olexandr Dubinsky (already under the US sanctions).

6- Nazar Diorditsa, anchor of several pro-Russian channels in Ukraine, took an active part in the legitimization scheme of the Derkach tapes.

As opposed to the fact that I read your post and laughed!

It is unintelligible Mrs. T.

I’m glad you are happy. But, it does take a few moments to follow.

Basically, Putin used subterfuge to effect U.S. election with while implicating Ukraine!

[higgmeister]

That does not make any sense.   You are saying President Putin wanted to affect our election.   I say which side?

Your Russia, Russia, Russia friends claim that President Putin intends to bring back the Soviet Union and the subjugation of the Ukraine is his first step.

Yet, the Democrats were blood brothers with the Soviet Union.   In that case President Putin must have backed Joe Biden during our election.

But wait, Joe Biden is supporting Ukraine, so President Putin must have wanted to support President Trump.   So, then you shouldn't have a problem with President Putin.   But President Putin invaded the Ukraine.

OK, I see now why you are such a mixed up mess.

Barbara, you should stick to posting your idiocy on Titter where it doesn't matter whether you make sense or not.
