Euroradio journalist Tarnalitsky added to Myrotvorets database – for uncritical conversation with Ukrainian draft dodger

The name of Euroradio journalist Taras Tarnalitsky (real surname Krutskykh) has appeared in the "Myrotvorets" list, which adds people for actions against Ukraine's security.

The website's authors accuse Tarnalitsky of participating in acts of humanitarian aggression against Ukraine, obstructing the activities of the Ukrainian army, and of allegedly knowingly attempting to undermine Ukraine's defense capabilities for his own financial gain.

The Belarusian was added to the list for an interview with Vital Krykryvenka – a Ukrainian who, in the summer of 2026, crossed the Ukrainian-Belarusian border with two other men to avoid mobilization into the Ukrainian army. Krykryvenka later made it to the European Union.

Tarnalitsky had a conversation with Vital, in which he asked him about communication with Belarusian security forces and his attitude towards the Belarusian authorities, the danger for Ukrainians in Belarus, and how convenient the Ukrainian-Belarusian border is for those fleeing mobilization into the Ukrainian army. The authors of "Myrotvorets" drew attention to the last question and to the fact that "Euroradio" highlighted in the article's headline the idea of the supposed attractiveness of that border for draft dodgers.

The creators of "Myrotvorets" believe that such a presentation popularizes the escape route from Ukraine via Belarus. The authors of the list also write that the article lacks a critical legal assessment of Krykryvenka's escape – in their opinion, this also popularizes the idea of evading mobilization.

Tarnalitsky is not the first Euroradio journalist to be included in the Myrotvorets database. In June, the name of Yauhen Kazartsev, the head of the publication, appeared there. He worked for the Russian state resource "Sputnik" from 2015 to 2020.

Kazartsev was accused, due to his work at "Sputnik", of "participating in acts of humanitarian aggression against Ukraine", spreading Russian propaganda, and manipulating socially significant information in the interests of the Kremlin. However, his card can no longer be found on "Myrotvorets" – Yauhen was removed from the list in July, with the explanation that he was added there by mistake.

Taras Tarnalitsky is best known as a film critic. He regularly collaborates with Euroradio and Budzma.org, but over the years of his career, he has also written for dozens of other media — including "Sputnik".

Tarnalitsky does not comment on his appearance in the "Myrotvorets" database.
