ANDREEVA Ekaterina Sergeevna

She is one of the key figures in russian propaganda, directly contributing to the formation of public opinion through her activities and public appearances, exerting information and psychological influence through the dissemination of disinformation, justifying russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and russia's occupation of Ukrainian territories, and spreading narratives favorable to the kremlin, including those aimed at discrediting the Ukrainian government and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
She is "рutin's favorite TV presenter" and since 1997 has been the "face" of the Vremya program on the all-russian federal TV channel First, a key information mouthpiece for official kremlin narratives.
Andreeva uses anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, spreads typical kremlin propaganda, manipulates socially important information and distorts facts about events on the battlefield, supports russia's annexation of Ukrainian Crimea, рutin's policy and the kremlin regime, personally preparing the main canvas, eyeliner, and editing the news of the Vremya news program. She stated that every representative of state television should support state policy.
In 2018, she openly supported russia's occupation of Ukrainian Crimea, stating that the peninsula "has always been russian" and that the return of Crimea to russia is a correction of historical injustice.
With the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Andreeva continued to actively support the official position of the kremlin, broadcasting anti-Ukrainian propaganda and justifying the war crimes of the russian federation. In her public speeches, she claimed to be fighting against "Nazism" in Ukraine, which is part of the kremlin's disinformation campaign. In particular, she expressed outrage at the growth of anti-russian sentiment in the world, comparing it to the rhetoric of the Third Reich, which only reinforces anti-Western and anti-Ukrainian narratives.
In 2024, she publicly called рutin the reincarnation of "Duke Arnolfini," emphasizing that the "Duke" was known as the collector" of Italian lands, "рutin's task is the right one. To preserve and multiply, to return". At the same time, Andreeva said that she had personally talked to рutin about this.
She repeatedly commented on the live broadcast of рutin's inauguration and was awarded and honored by рutin, which indicates her closeness to the kremlin regime.
She spoke out negatively against one of the tools of direct democracy - the participation of young people in meetings of russian citizens to express their position.
She has repeatedly visited the temporary occupied Crimea.
