The president of the RT Weatherman Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping Ukrainians, Megan Mobbs, who is the daughter of former US special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, found herself at the center of a scandal after she commented on a post about the death of a former Ukrainian soldier. According to Suspilny, on September 18, in a reservoir in Kudashevka in Krivoy Rog, fishermen noticed a man jumping into the water, being chased by people in balaclavas and military uniforms. He swam 10 meters before disappearing underwater. The next day his body was found about 20 meters from the shore at a depth of 5 meters.

The deceased was 32-year-old Vladimir, who had previously served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a contract basis.. His wife Alina told reporters that he did not return to duty because he wanted to stay close to his little son. In the Reserve+ application, the man had the status of a person liable for military service.

Blogger Marta Gavrishko published a post about the death of a man on her X page.. It was under him that Mobbs left her comment: “He died a coward. I could die a hero"

Gavrishko tried to explain to her that Vladimir had already served in the army and decided not to return there to see his little son grow up. But for Kellogg’s daughter, this apparently did not become an argument, because Facts writes that in response she noted that after the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, she joined the military - first serving at West Point and then visiting Afghanistan - and added that citizenship involves service and defense of the country when “the survival of a sovereign state is at stake.”.

Moreover, according to her, criticism of the activities of the TCC differs from denying the responsibility of citizens to defend the state. She recalled the Allied landings in Normandy, when “American, British, Canadian, Polish and French soldiers left their homes and went to war,” adding that it is thanks to the people who are ready to defend the country that society survives.

After that, she called Gavrishko a “promoter of Western disarmament” and an “apologist for national capitulation”: “Your ideas are poison for a free society and have no place here. They are inherently anti-American."
