At once, two new portals that have recently been created began to actively disseminate various fake information about Western companies, journalists write. Some businesses have been charged with fraud and fundraising. Two news resources in the United Kingdom have begun to spread misinformation about the illegal activities of Western companies in Ukraine.

The US firm Sarn, which works in Ukrainian energy and military equipment sectors, stated that they have been disseminated by these portals.
