Last summer a post from Antov’s account appeared on his WhatsApp claiming, “It’s extremely difficult to call all this anything but terror.”
The message criticized a Russian missile attack on a residential block in Kyiv that left a father and his seven-year-old daughter dead and her mother wounded.
The message was quickly deleted. Antov posted his account was hacked by someone that he did not agree with. And that he supported Putin, was a “patriot of my country” and also backed the war.
