00:30One of 10 individuals who were sanctioned by the European Union on the 15th of June, along with one entity,
00:35for carrying out foreign manipulation and interference activities on behalf of Russia.
00:40Jost, a Russian-American who was born in Hong Kong, goes by the name Sasha Meets Russia on social media.
00:47She shares content about Russian traditions and culture alongside travel vlogs.
00:51But underneath this seemingly innocent layer of content, she has been pushing Kremlin propaganda.
00:56Echoing pro-Russian talking points, she has referred to the war in Ukraine as a special military operation rather than
01:03a full-scale Russian invasion.
01:04She has also falsely claimed that Ukraine is a dictatorship, unlike Russia.
01:09Now, they did include an interesting reason as to why they sanctioned me, and they wrote that I responded to
01:16Vladimir Zelensky on X and said that Crimea is Russia and soon all of Ukraine will be too.
01:23Okay, where's the lie in that?
01:25What about it?
01:26In April 2025, Jost claimed on Telegram that she had never been paid to speak about her love for Russia,
01:33describing herself as a patriot.
01:35However, according to the EU, she produced content while being paid by TV Novosti, the legal entity behind EU-sanctioned
01:42Russian state media outlet Russia Today.
01:45Jost's Instagram and YouTube channels were taken down in March, making it more difficult for her to spread her messaging
01:51to Western audiences.
