The Cypriot MEP says his details have been added to the Myrotvorets database, which labels him an "enemy" of Ukraine over a 2025 visit to Moscow and allegations of spreading Russian propaganda.

Cypriot MEP Fidias Panayiotou says he has been added to the controversial Ukrainian website Myrotvorets, a database that publishes information on individuals it considers enemies of Ukraine.

In a video posted on his Facebook account, Panayiotou claimed his name was added to the database in recent days because of a 2025 visit to Moscow with other members of the European Parliament and allegations that he promotes Russian propaganda.

"Several days ago, I was added to the most dangerous list in Europe," he said in the video, referring to the website, whose name translates as "Peacemaker".

Claims about the website

According to Panayiotou, the website publishes the names, photographs and personal information of military personnel, journalists and politicians it identifies as enemies of Ukraine.

The MEP alleged that some individuals who previously appeared on the list were later killed and that the word "eliminated" was subsequently added to their profiles.

He also stated that the European Parliament had condemned the website in 2021 and called on Ukraine to ban its operation.

Panayiotou further questioned who is behind the platform, claiming that despite being presented as a non-government initiative, allegations have been made linking it to Ukrainian intelligence services.

Reason for his inclusion

Panayiotou said the website describes him as an enemy of Ukraine because of his visit to Russia in 2025.

"According to the website itself, I am an enemy of Ukraine because in 2025 I went to Moscow together with other MEPs, and they accuse me of spreading Russian propaganda," he said.

He added that other members of the European Parliament from various political backgrounds are also listed, including individuals who visited Russia or expressed views on the war that differ from mainstream positions.

Position on the war

Panayiotou reiterated that he condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine, describing it as a violation of international law.

At the same time, he defended his support for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict rather than continued arms deliveries.

He said his visit to Moscow was intended to convey the message that some MEPs favour diplomatic initiatives and a more active role for the European Union in peace efforts.

The Cypriot MEP also drew parallels with Cyprus, arguing that the island understands the consequences of invasion and occupation and that disputes should be resolved through diplomacy.

Previous threats

Towards the end of the video, Panayiotou said he had received threats against his life in the past, although he did not provide further details.

He concluded by saying that perhaps the site's name, "Peacemaker", was appropriate because promoting peace had been his objective from the beginning.
