Anastasia Trofimova, a Russian propagandist, has been accused of collaborating with individuals involved in the kidnapping of Ukrainian children and spreading Russian propaganda. Trofimova, who has worked for the Russian state propaganda channel RT for seven years, has been seen in the company of Yelizaveta Glinka, a figure associated with the abduction of children for Russia. Despite claiming to be a filmmaker, Trofimova's activities and associations have led to widespread condemnation. Her involvement with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has also raised concerns, as critics argue that she is a Russian agent. Trofimova has denied witnessing any Russian war crimes, a statement that has been met with skepticism and criticism.
