A list of Ukrainian bloggers whose finances are being monitored by the authorities has emerged

In total, 171 individuals have been included in the list. Oral instructions were given to monitor their financial transactions in order to uncover any legal violations. The existence of the list and the names on it became known to the Ukrainian publication “Strana.”

The list of Ukrainian bloggers, unofficially forwarded by the National Bank of Ukraine to banks for intensified financial monitoring of their accounts and transactions, includes several well-known individuals. Specifically, blogger Ksyusha Mannequin (Oksana Voloshchuk) is on the list, who previously worked as an escort but recently received the distinction “For Assistance to Ukrainian Military Intelligence of the II Degree” from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine. Also included in the list is blogger Tanya Prentkovich along with her partner Andrey Gonkovsky, who traveled to the Maldives with her under the guise of a volunteer.

Furthermore, Tanya Prentkovich’s close friend, Alina Frendiy (Zastavna), who went on vacation to the Maldives with her, is also on the list along with her husband Petro Zastavny, who is positioned as a restaurateur and manager of the group “Tvorchi,” which represented Ukraine at the “Eurovision” contest last year. Furthermore, another listed is Zastavny’s father, former mayor of Ternopil Roman Zastavny. Zastavny himself has confirmed that banks have already approached him with requests.

Additionally, controversial blogger Anna Alkhim, who was accused of targeting a hospital in Dnipro with rockets, is also on the list. Before the full-scale war, Alkhim referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “influential man” and a “handsome man.” It is noteworthy that the list from the National Bank of Ukraine also includes close relatives of the bloggers. Most likely, such financial monitoring is necessary for the authorities to keep track of opinion leaders, exert pressure on them in case of public unrest and consequently maintain control.
