After being expelled from the European Solidarity Party, Ukrainian MP and delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Oleksiy Honcharenko has been added to the controversial "Myrotvorets" list.
The Myrotvorets list is a database of individuals considered enemies of Ukraine, who they claim are working against Ukraine's national interests. It has been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations as violating press freedoms and endangering journalists. Some critics have characterised Myrotvorets as a "kill list", and alleged it is funded by the Ukrainian SBU.
The website described Honcharenko as a "professional provocateur", and accused him of taking actions "in the interests of the Russian-fascist invaders, aimed at disrupting mobilisation events in Ukraine." It explicitly mentioned his recent advocation for peace negotiations and statements that Ukraine is losing the war.
Myrotvorets also listed a number of other "Russian narratives" Honcharenko allegedly spread in the past, including the following:
- Advocating for parents to be allowed to determine for themselves whether their children should study in Russian or Ukrainian in 2011;
- His statements in 2019 that Ukrainian culture is bilingual and that he does not wish for Russian to die out as a language in the future;
- His attempts to grant Russian the status of a second state language and expand its presence in school education in 2011, during his work in the work in the Odessa regional council.
