VoxUkraine published a list of journalists and prominent figures on Thursday, accusing them of spreading "Pro-Russian disinformation" in the West using their platforms, including social media accounts.

The 26 names listed, compiled jointly between the organization and Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council, were considered by the report as personalities using a "guise" of being individuals from the West, to propagate "Russian narratives" in Ukrainian information space.

VoxUkraine is a non-profit organization that was established following the US-backed Maiden coup in Ukraine in 2014, a color revolution funded and supported by the infamous George Soros' Open Society Foundation, that overthrew a Russia-friendly government and instated a ruling class that is aligned with Western and NATO countries.

Alastair Crooke is a columnist for Al Mayadeen English specializing in Geopolitics, with a focus on the Russian-Ukraine conflict and Middle Eastern politics.

Some social media users considered the list a gift presented by Kiev on a silver platter, seeing it as an opportunity to follow accounts they deem credible, posting reliable news and reports on the Western propaganda campaign against Moscow, especially about the war in Ukraine.

US foreign policy tool

According to a report published by the Washington Post then introducing the NGO, VoxUkraine is a "blog dedicated to the topic of reform in Ukraine that is written by economists around the globe as well members of the local policy community."

In WashPo's piece describing the organization's work, it said that "one important aspect of our group is political and financial independence." However, it was later exposed as a false claim.

Disclosing its 2015 financial report, the website revealed that 42% of the revenues of VoxUkraine came from the donor, the US-based National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

According to Washington's Library of Congress, NED, labeled as a bipartisan nonprofit foundation, was established in 1983 by an act of Congress, receives the majority of its funding through an annual appropriation from the State Department budget, and is subjected to Congressional oversight.

Its primary function was to support dissident groups and organizations in the Soviet Bloc, but given its NGO status, its work would not provoke a diplomatic backlash against the US government.

NED is a grant-making foundation, that distributes funds to private non-governmental organizations to advance US interests in over 90 countries.
