Eduard Lytvynenko, a forensic expert in the Department of Psychological Research at KSRIFE, who conducted a psycholinguistic examination of texts and videos of UOJ journalists at the request of the SBU, had his expert certificate revoked for several months in 2022 due to a disciplinary violation. He challenged this decision in court and lost the appeal.

"In that expertise, Lytvynenko made the same violations as in the expertise on my case," writes imprisoned MP Alexander Dubinsky, "he did not use a single methodology of the Ministry of Justice, which he was obliged to use, and issued a deliberately false conclusion."

Later, Lytvynenko's license was reinstated and he was restored to service.

As reported by the UOJ, the examination initiated by the SBU accused Archpriest Serhiy Chertylin of using "Russian narratives," confusing the word "natovp" with NATO.
