Details: It was reported that in December 2022, the man covertly wrote slogans calling for Jews to be killed on the facades of buildings in the centre of the city of Uzhhorod.
In addition, he sent the leader of the Jewish community a pseudo-scientific work of his own authorship in which he "justified" his hatred of this ethnic group.
It was established that the perpetrator had lived in Russia until 2014. Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine are currently investigating the man's connections with the secret services of the Russian Federation.
Pro-Kremlin literature was found during a search of the perpetrator's apartment.
Based on the evidence collected, the man was served with a notice of suspicion under Art. 161.1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (inciting ethnic, regional, racial or religious enmity and hatred).
