Ukraine publishes list of ‘undesirables’ accused of supporting the Russian invasion

A list of “undesirables” has been published in Ukraine encouraging citizens to become informers for the security forces targeting leftists accused of supporting the Russian invasion of the country.

The Brown List’s anonymous authors claim to be progressives, but it has been compared to the notorious Myrotvorets (peacemaker) list launched by the former governor of Lugansk oblast George Tuka in December 2014. 

The website was allegedly backed by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and published the personal data of those deemed to be “enemies of Ukraine.”
