Nastya Horpinchenko - attack 24.10.2025

On October 26, 2025, a post targeting journalist Nastya Horpinchenko was published on the Telegram channel “Baza 111.” The content of the post was as follows:

“Horpinchenko Anastasiia Ivanivna — foreign agent | grant-eater, propagandist, justifying the crimes of the Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCC), supporting or calling for the arrest of critics of the authorities, participating in the persecution of critics, financing and assisting TCC.

• Called on air of Slidstvo.Info for the arrest, persecution, and punishment of lawyers who help citizens defend their rights against the illegal actions of TCC. Author of the report.”

The post demonstrates clear signs of gendered disinformation and online defamation against the journalist, as evidenced by manipulative wording and false accusations aimed at professionally discrediting her.

This is not the first online attack targeting Nastya Horpinchenko — she has previously faced harassment and smear campaigns related to her investigative reporting on draft evasion and mobilization issues.
