What kind of scandal happened around Marta Havryshko

“Anti-Ukrainian propagandist. Participation in acts of humanitarian aggression against Ukraine. Spreading Russian propaganda. Propaganda of Russian fascism, Nazism and anti-Semitism. Conscious intentional actions aimed at undermining Ukraine’s defense capabilities and disrupting mobilization measures in favor of the Russian-fascist invaders in order to obtain personal financial gain. Conscious actions aimed at discrediting and demoralizing the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the “Peacemaker” website states.

On July 22, 2025, an open letter from a number of Western scholars was published “in defense of academic freedom and the Ukrainian historian Marta Havryshko.”
It, in particular, states that Marta Havryshko is being persecuted and harassed in Ukraine for investigating manifestations of neo-Nazism in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On July 29, 2025, Ukrainian historian and military Vakhtang Kipiani accused Marta Havryshko of manipulation and lies.
“Havryshko left Ukraine a long time ago and she is not a victim of war, she does not hear alarms, this is not her house, she does not know how to run with her child to shelter, nothing threatens her life,” the historian wrote.
In his opinion, Marta Havryshko wants to obtain refugee status in the United States.
