A LONDON-BASED organisation linked to the Ukrainian government has been accused of recklessly endangering lives by publishing a “traitors” list with personal data, photographs and even family details of supposed Russian collaborators — including children. 

Molfar, which describes itself as an open source investigations company, works out of a building close to Hyde Park employing 35 “highly qualified analysts” and up to 200 volunteers. 

Founded by CEO Artem Starosiek, the group says its main aim is to compile details of Russian soldiers and others it says must be punished for war crimes.
