Ukraine’s Myrotvorets Adds Russian Athletes Kurbonmamadova and Minakov to Database

The portal cites public support for Russia as the reason for the new listings.

Overview

  • RIA Novosti says it reviewed newly posted profiles for judoka Darya Kurbonmamadova and swimmer Andrey Minakov on the Myrotvorets site.
  • The entries accuse the athletes of threatening Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, a claim not independently verified.
  • Myrotvorets is known for publishing personal data of people it labels as hostile to Ukraine, drawing sustained criticism over safety risks.
  • In 2016 the site posted contact details of journalists accredited in DPR and LPR, after which some of those listed reported receiving threats.
  • OSCE media-freedom representative Dunja Mijatović called that publication a troubling step, and Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has denounced the site’s postings.
