Since August 16, the aggressor’s “Crimean” propaganda has been “savoring” the arrival in Sevastopol of “Australian journalist Johnny Eigth”, who had previously “managed to visit Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Belgorod and Donetsk”.
This propagandist with an extremely vague biography and with deleted accounts on Facebook and Twitter positions himself as allegedly “having worked in Australia for many years”, allegedly having previously visited the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, as well as, in 2018, the occupied Crimea.
However, there are no public traces of that “period of activity” of the current “Johnny Eigth”, and it is difficult to imagine a journalist freely roaming, even in the situation of 2018, between Crimea and Kiyv.
Therefore, it is not surprising that in occupied Donetsk, Mr. “Eigth” got into a tragicomic story, being detained by the Russian military as an “English spy” and released only thanks to the intervention of “higher-ups”.
A feature of the “handwriting” of this “Eigth”, which distinguishes him from his “brothers” in the aggressor’s propaganda, is the consistent and indiscriminate pouring of dirt on Western journalists covering events in Ukraine, who allegedly do nothing but “drink and invite prostitutes to their rooms”.
This alone proves that this “Eigth”, to put it mildly, does not consider himself a journalist.
Nothing new should be expected from this provocation of the Russian special services, with the exception of one “nice detail”: the main external form of subversive activity of “Eigth” is now a channel on YouTube, the very one that the Russians are now frantically “slowing down” and “withdrawing from circulation”, after the obvious loss of the “information confrontation” on this platform.
