Verbal, online or physical attack: Online intimidation or smear
Krym.realii, the Crimean project of the Ukrainian service of Radio Liberty, received an email from an unknown source contained threats of prison terms in Siberia for its journalists for spreading “fakes” about the Russian army. The email came from mail.ru, which is banned in Ukraine. The email also accused Ukrainian journalists of being propagandists for the neo-Nazis.
