Quote: "According to the investigation, the suspect publicly called for and distributed materials calling for the borders of the territory and state border of Ukraine to be changed in violation of the procedure established by the Constitution of Ukraine, and incited national hatred. He also distributed materials containing public calls for the genocide of the Ukrainian people."

Details: The Office of the Prosecutor General said that since May 2022, the propagandist has been creating and distributing posts on VKontakte, a social network that is banned in Ukraine, calling for the whole of Ukraine to be "liberated", not just Kherson and Donbas. He also urged Russia and "liberated" Ukraine to create "a new state, a real empire, with a mission and a spirit, an Orthodox kingdom." On top of that, Dugin promoted further escalation of the war.

In addition, the suspect distributed posts calling for the enemy – Ukraine and its inhabitants – to be destroyed to the last man standing, and for missile strikes to be launched on cities of Ukraine, particularly central Kyiv.

Note:

• On 20 August 2022, a car in which Dugin's daughter Darya was travelling exploded in Moscow Oblast. Darya Dugina worked for the Russian propaganda channel RT.
• At the same time, the Office of the President of Ukraine denied that Kyiv had any involvement in Dugina's murder.
