Russia is said to have ordered the assignment of bodyguards to some of its main television propagandists, in a measure aimed at protecting them from potential attacks by Ukraine. The decision reportedly came from Viktor Zolotov, director of Rosgvardiya, the Russian National Guard.
This measure represents a significant expansion of the protection already granted to some of the most well-known figures of the Kremlin's media machine. The names of the journalists and commentators affected were not specified in the article.
The concern of the Russian authorities is related to the fact that these faces of state television are considered vulnerable targets after a series of attacks attributed to Ukraine against figures linked to the Kremlin and its propaganda machine.
This information comes in a context of growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, where pro-Kremlin figures have been targeted within Russian territory, raising concerns about the safety of prominent state media personalities.
