That's completely unhinged nuts. That's not even some fringe hit list, that's literally run by government officials and intelligence personnel...

Also that second article about 13 year old girl.

Faina had already contacted the UN again, writing a letter to Secretary General Antonio Guterres in which she pleaded for him to influence the government of Ukraine to block the Mirotvorets site. In response, a representative of the UN secretary general only urged Ukrainian authorities to stop using children for political purposes.

So Faina reached out to the political and spiritual leaders of Europe, calling for an end to the mass killing of civilians in eastern Ukraine. She wrote letters to French President Emmanuel Macron, Pope Francis, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British rock musician Roger Waters. She only wanted one thing, she said: To be heard.

All Faina received in reply were automated responses.

It seems that at least Waters heard her though.

What you claim

that’s literally run by government officials and intelligence personnel…

And what the article (that is very anti-Ukrainian) says:

Investigators say that the hitlist, which was created in 2014, is supervised by the public organization “Mirotvorets Center,” which is headed by Roman Zaitsev, a former employee of Ukrainian special services, and by the public organization, “People’s Rear,” headed by George Tuka, a Ukrainian statesman and public figure.

Is exactly how we get complete fringe BS on the internet to begin with. Stop stretching the truth to fit your agenda. Next someone's gonna come quote you and be like "oh the website is run by the Ukrainian gov't!"

Sure, let's believe a naonazi murder instigating site over people they want to murder for no reason.

Founder of this site is active government official. One of the main members if former intelligence officer - with "former" being oldest bullshit in the book.
