Addendum
The SBU served a notice of suspicion to the former host of Medvedchuk and Muraiev's channels, Max Nazarov (real name Nazar Diorditsa).
The Security Service of Ukraine collected evidence and obtained independent expert opinions confirming the anti-Ukrainian activities of the former host of the sanctioned TV channels.
After the outbreak of a full-scale war, the defendant created his own channel on the YouTube video hosting service, where he continued to spread the Kremlin's narratives, the case file says.
Nazarov regularly invited pro-Russian "political experts" to his broadcasts. On January 18, the SBU conducted searches at Max Nazarov's place.
