‘Destructive activity’: Ukraine’s Security Service busts ‘anti-vax network’ suspected of crimes against national security

The Security Service of Ukraine (the SBU) claims to have thwarted a purported "anti-vaccination" ring that's supposed real aim was to destabilize the socio-political situation in the country. Allegedly, this network operated in various regions of Ukraine and Russian handlers are possibly responsible for coordinating its efforts. On November 16, media reports emerged that SBU operatives were searching the home of prominent Lviv anti-vaxxer Ostap Stakhiv as part of the case. Stakhiv's arraignment, which was initially adjourned because he was allegedly seeking medical treatment and therefore failed to appear in court, took place on November 18. A Lviv district court remanded Stakhiv in custody for two months pending trial, setting bail at almost $38,000. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/11/19/destructive-activity
