Nataliia Moseichuk - attack 29.01.2026

On January 29, 2026, the YouTube channel “NENACHASI” run by Dmytro Chekalkin published a video about the 1+1 TV host Nataliia Moseichuk titled “How Moseichuk Is Becoming Skabeeva and Promoting the Cult of Zelenskyy!”.

The video disseminates manipulative claims about Moseichuk’s professional activity, including insinuations about alleged financial motivations or political loyalty to the authorities. In the video, Moseichuk is compared to Russian propagandist Olga Skabeeva. Additionally, it contains numerous illustrations generated with AI technologies based on photos of Moseichuk and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, playing on themes such as a “tribe,” a “chief,” and similar imagery.

The manipulative framing, AI-generated visuals, and derogatory remarks used in the video indicate a targeted online attack against the TV host. The content contains elements of several forms of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), including hate speech, gendered disinformation, online defamation, impersonation, and gender trolling.

The video also triggered hostile comments from YouTube users, many of which contain signs of online attacks, including hate speech, threats of physical violence, gendered disinformation, and online defamation. Similar comments appeared on the social media platform X, where Dmytro Chekalkin also shared the video. For example:

“A prostitute is more decent than many so-called journalists. Including this one.
“Musya is a whore — she used to belong to Kolomoisky and now she belongs to Zelenskyy. Whose will she be when the власти change?”
“Why would Holoborodko/Yermak need toilet paper if there is Moseichuk?”
“This monster has no right to live.”
“No one considers Moseichuk a human being; people in Ukraine understand everything now.”
“Before the death of Gaddafi’s favorite TV presenter, they cut out her tongue.”

This is not the first online attack against Nataliia Moseichuk documented by Women in Media. Such attacks against women journalists often arise in response to their professional activities or public statements and may include misogyny, sexism, defamation, and attempts to discredit them. The purpose of such attacks may be to exert psychological pressure and undermine public trust in women media professionals.
