Reason for recognition
"Actively partakes in informational attacks" against the Russian Federation. "The staff of the web outlet consists of 'independent observers' who are little known in the professional community but loudly sympathize with the Kyiv regime. Those are mostly foreign agents who fled to Europe after the start of the special military operation. They openly support the sanction policy of the West and stand for increasing the military presence of NATO" near the Russian borders.
