Finance Minister and Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman is added to Peacemaker, a private website that lists individuals accused of harming Ukraine’s national interest.

The site, run by anonymous Ukrainians, calls Liberman a “Russian agent of influence” who “manipulates socially significant information in favor of the Russian-fascist aggressor.”

The site also condemns the Moldova-born Liberman for refusing to condemn Russia over the massacre in Bucha, and allegedly trying to prevent the deployment of a field hospital to Ukraine. Yevgen Korniychuk, Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, personally invited Liberman to view the evidence for himself at the time.

Though the site is not officially linked to the government, Ukraine’s border guards are believed to refer to the list, and some allege that two pro-Russian Ukrainians murdered in 2015 were targeted because their home addresses were listed on the site.
