As soon as my appeal regarding Anna Alkhim was registered with the SBU and the National Police due to a threat to national security, I began to receive threats
The People's Deputy from "Servant of the People" also noted that someone probably informed the blogger about this, and also asked a rhetorical question about "How much longer will the protection of Ukrainian values in Ukraine be a reason for mockery and threats?".

The police have opened criminal proceedings against Alkhim for inciting national hatred. We are following the situation further
The investigation is currently ongoing, and the details of the case remain at the clarification stage.
According to preliminary information, it concerns violations under three articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
- Article 161 - incitement of national hatred;
- Article 111 - treason;
- Article 346 - threat or violence against a state or public figure.

Recently, Anna Alkhim was caught in a scandal because she refused to sing Ukrainian songs at the christening of the children of another blogger, Stasya Makeeva. Because of this, she received a lot of criticism, including from Olena Mandziuk, who publicly appealed to the SBU and accused Alkhim of spreading Russian narratives and that the blogger communicates in Russian.
Later, the media spread information that Anna Alkhim and 13 other Ukrainian bloggers may be subject to sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council for cooperation with the Russian Federation and the promotion of Russian narratives.
And on May 12, volunteer and blogger Olena Mandziuk appealed to the blogger Anna Alkhim with an offer to personally join a humanitarian trip to the front, to which she agreed.
