Montenegrin authorities have detained Mikhail Zvinchuk, the owner of the Telegram channel 'Rybar', along with his wife and several associates. The operation is part of efforts to disrupt the channel's hybrid activities, which are linked to the spread of Kremlin propaganda and operations to exert foreign information influence by the authorities of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Russian embassy in Montenegro is investigating the circumstances surrounding the detention.
