Russian Ambassador to Ghana addresses case of national accused of secretly recording women

Ambassador Ordash, in an interview with Diplomatic Times, reaffirmed Moscow's willingness to cooperate with Ghanaian authorities. He emphasized that Russia condemns actions violating individuals' rights and dignity, including intrusions into private lives, and has expressed readiness to cooperate within existing legal frameworks. The ambassador also noted that this incident highlights the need for Ghana and Russia to establish a formal extradition framework.

Liulkov, also known as Yaytseslav Truhov, is a 36-year-old Russian national who faced widespread condemnation earlier in 2026 for allegedly using smart glasses to film women in Ghana, Kenya, and other countries without their consent. Reports indicate he would approach women, establish relationships, and then secretly record sexual encounters, sharing the footage online. Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, confirmed on February 18, 2026, that some alleged victims had filed official complaints regarding the secret filming and circulation of intimate footage.
