Russia's financial watchdog, Rosfinmonitoring, added television journalist Tatyana Lazareva to its list of "terrorists and extremists" on June 19. Earlier this week, the Interior Ministry said it had launched a probe against Lazareva on a charge of justifying terrorism. The charge stems from Lazareva's report about Ukrainian drones attacking Russian sites. Last week, the ministry added Lazareva to its wanted list. In July 2022, Lazareva, who openly condemned Moscow's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, was added to Russia's list of "foreign agents." Lazareva fled Russia after Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
