The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs department in Moscow’s Preobrazhenskoye district launched a probe into Ilya Ber, the editor-in-chief of Russian fact-checking website Provereno. The investigation stemmed from Ber’s post on his personal Facebook account on April 27 in which he disputed pro-Russian reports about the deaths of Ukrainian civilians in the city of Bucha. Provereno had repeatedly published articles debunking pro-Kremlin disinformation of the war in Ukraine. “We as a project are not politicised, we are unbiased, and we write the truth. If the truth does not suit the Russian authorities or the police, that is not my problem,” Ber told Lithuanian news website Delfi, to which he also contributes.
