The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) added Bulgarian Journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva to the list of targets for elimination on the "Myrotvorets" [peacemaker] website. The announcement mentioned that the journalist's information was added to the SBU's database on April 15th. Her name, photos, data, place of birth, social profiles, and media publications were all included. 

Some of the people on the list were killed and marked with "eliminated" on the website. Earlier last August, one of the journalists on the list, Daria Dugina, was murdered in a bomb blast outside Moscow in her car. In response, Russia accused a Ukrainian security service agent as the perpetrator.

Military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky, whose name is also on the list, was killed in an explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg. The girl who delivered the bomb said that she was fulfilling a job by Ukrainian officials and was promised that if she completed it successfully, she would be hired by a Ukrainian media outlet.

After  Tatarsky's death, the word "eliminated" appeared on the "Peacemaker" website.

The list covers hundreds of journalists, politicians, and public figures from all over the world. Among them are Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard, NBC News American journalist Keir Simmons, Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters, and hundreds of others.

Professor Ivo Hristov and Professor Valentin Vacev are among the Bulgarians on the list of "enemies of Ukraine."

On another note, in 2018, Gaytandzhieva was expelled from the European Parliament because of a confrontation with the US Assistant Secretary of Health regarding vital companies funded by the Pentagon in 25 countries in the world.

On her Twitter account, she called out US media for calling her news "fake." She investigated the US biological laboratories located in Ukraine and in turn, Western media accused her of spreading false Russian propaganda about US biological weapons

What is "Peacemaker"?

"Myrotvorets" or "Peacemaker" is a Ukrainian website that gives SBU employees and foreign services access to a database that includes information about individuals that Ukraine considers enemies. The list became known as the black kill list, because people on the list were killed, with a sign indicating their "elimination", posted on the Peacekeeper website after their murder. 

It is worth noting that the site's address is listed as Langley, Virginia (Langley is also home to the CIA headquarters) and Warsaw, Poland.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) called on Ukraine to investigate the site. Peacekeeper continues to operate despite repeated calls from the UN, G7 ambassadors, the EU, and human rights groups to shut it down.

Even though it has no official status, it acts as a supplement to the government's databases of Ukraine's checkpoints. On that note, In 2018, the German Foreign Ministry asked the Ukrainian government to delete the website.

Social outrage in favor of Gaytandzhieva

After adding Gaytandzhieva to the list, users expressed their outrage on social platforms in protest of the recent move. 

La giornalista bulgara Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, nota anche in Italia per le sue inchieste su traffici di armi e laboratori biologici, e' stata aggiunta alla kill list di Myrotvorets, quegli strenui difensori ucraini della "democrazia occidentale". pic.twitter.com/Yg4ycVvSTA

Now Dilyana Gaytandzhieva is on the Ukrainian kill list.@RealAJonez When are you going to invite @dgaytandzhieva ? She knows a thing or two about the Ukrainians biolabs. In fact, she was aware of whats goin on long before most of us showed any interest. https://t.co/QHXqhzhJnc

Most comments came after the journalist shared the website and wrote: The Ukrainian SBU has included me in the list of targets for elimination on the site "Peacemaker."
