The Ukrainian intelligence agency Molfar OSINT has reportedly added US Senator JD Vance to its controversial "kill list" on the day it was announced that Vance would be former President Donald Trump's running mate in the upcoming election. Molfar, an open-source intelligence agency linked to Ukraine's military and intelligence operations, maintains a list of "foreign propagandists" it deems "enemies of Ukraine."
“The Molfar OSINT agency has created its own register of foreign propagandists of the terrorist regime of the Russian Federation,” the agency states on its website. “On this page, the names and private data of propagandists are presented, for each person we have evidence of his or her propaganda activities in favor of Russia.”
The individuals on this list are considered national security threats by the agency, which advocates for their removal from public positions, sanctions, investigations, or even targeted assassinations in some cases.
Senator Vance, who has been outspoken about his views on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, was added to the list due to his past comments. His profile on the list cites comments made in 2022 when Vance stated that he "really doesn’t care what happens to Ukraine," a remark that has drawn significant criticism from the country.
Vance’s profile also points out that he has called Russian President Vladimir Putin an "evil man," but notes that he has condemned Ukraine as a "corrupt nation run by oligarchs." More recently, in 2023, Vance expressed the opinion that "it is in America’s interest to accept that Ukraine will have to cede some territory to Russia."
Molfar’s list includes 153 individuals labeled as Russian foreign propagandists, among them prominent politicians, journalists, and businessmen. Notable figures on the list include Senator Rand Paul, Representative Thomas Massie, and conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, who previously interviewed Putin.
