CyberBerkut Warns That Kiev is Carrying Out 'Sweep' Operation in Mariupol

Ukrainian hacking collective CyberBerkut has reported that they have obtained a series of documents from the Ministry of Information Policy in Mariupol, featuring correspondence about the need for a pro-Ukrainian social-psychological propaganda campaign, and noting that a "sweep" of the city is taking place.

According to the group, over 100 people have been arrested over the past few days.

CyberBerkut claims to have obtained correspondence belonging to Ukrainian Ministry of Information Policy Minister Tatyana Popova, one of which recommends a "pilot project of military-civilian administration" in the embattled city.

"Everything began with an analysis of the information environment in Mariupol, reported to Tatyana Popova," the hackers reported. This analysis, which "reads more like a denunciation," was prepared by social psychologist Oleg Pokalchuk, who reported that the city lacks pro-Ukrainian propaganda, that the Greek community there is pro-Russian, and that the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church are carrying out anti-Ukrainian subversive activities. 

Popova advised her colleagues to pay "close attention" to Pokalchuk's report.

CyberBerkut promised to publish more of the internal correspondence between the Ministry and its workers at a later date.

It was earlier reported that Ukrainian authorities were looking to "root out informants" accused of passing sensitive information to anti-Kiev militia. Media have spoken of residents being taken away for questioning, some by armed men offering no official identification papers

CyberBerkut is a group of hackers opposed to the current government in Kiev. Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, the group has conducted a series of high-profile hacks. It has recently reported on the details of US plans to send arms to Ukraine, revealed information revealing the high casualty figures among Ukrainian army, information about snipers on Maidan Square, and Victoria Nuland's famous "F**k the EU!" exchange with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.

We CyberBerkut, continue to be in the computer networks of the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine. We begin to familiarize the public with the internal documents of the Ministry and its staff correspondence.

As you know, the other day the Security Service of Ukraine and punitive battalions Ukrainian law enforcement agencies staged a total sweep Mariupol. According to media reports, "in grab anyone who looked not so, is not it said. Snitches roam the markets go in the taxi, eavesdropping on conversations of passengers. "

Just a few days in the city arrested more than 100 people.

It would be naive to believe that this situation is entirely on the initiative of Ukrainian law enforcers. We CyberBerkut, argue that the instigator of the arbitrariness in the city has become the Ministry of Information Policy.

It all began with an analysis of the information environment in Mariupol obtained Tatiana Popova.

a.

This analysis, more like a denunciation, prepared a social psychologist Oleg Pokalchuk, who reported that the city is no Ukrainian propaganda, the Greek community of pro-Russian stance, the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate are anti-Ukrainian subversive activities, etc.

After receiving this information, Tatiana Popova acts decisively. Soon her hands were recommendations made by the psychological operations, which she shared with colleagues. She advised a "very listen" to them.

m.

In particular, the document was recommended to do from Mariupol 'pilot project military and civil administration. " We are particularly interested here is a passage:

"... Hidden work there create a module of special operations forces in the entire range. From tactical groups to military and administrative (in the US it is 95 mtr Regiment) and Psychological Operations Battalion PSYOP. ..."

"... New for this task in Mariupol separate network of informants in the guise of the sociological service.

Introduce social card resident of the city, under this pretext - to hold a mass inspection of documents actually roundup ... "

By a strange coincidence, the "Law on civil-military administrations" was signed by President Poroshenko February 26th. After a few days in Mariupol began raids and mass arrests. "The pilot project military-civilian administration" in the city earned in full force.

But it has to offer Kiev and the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine population of Mariupol and generally south-east can be seen from the following letter Tatiana Popova his boss Yuri Stec.

It is even not particularly want to comment on. Perhaps, after all, Yuri Stec, Artem Bidenko and Tatiana Popova need to do something else, not the formation of a multinational state information policy of Ukraine.

In the near future CyberBerkut continue to familiarize the public with the internal documents of the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine and the correspondence of its employees.
