An alleged Russian national has been trending in parts of Africa, particularly Ghana, over claims that he has been sharing intimate videos of several Ghanaian women.

The man, who identifies himself as Yaytseslav, is believed to be a content creator and has reportedly uploaded several videos featuring around forty Ghanaian women he has encountered.

From February 12 to 13, 2026, Ghanaian social media especially X has been abuzz with discussions about him.

In the videos circulating online, Yaytseslav is often seen around the Accra Mall, where he approaches shoppers, mostly women, strikes up conversations and records the interactions.

Mode of operation

Multiple social media reports detail his alleged modus operandi. Yaytseslav is said to use body cameras, smart glasses to secretly record the women he encounters.

He reportedly rents a luxury apartment, which allegedly convinces women to trust him and visit him at his residence.

Social media uproar as alleged Russian trends for luring Ghanaian women into filmed encounters

According to reports, he approaches women by claiming he is a foreigner who wants to be friends and possibly have a relationship.

He then invites them to his apartment to “talk and get to know each other.” During these visits, he allegedly records the encounters, claiming he has also engaged in sexual activity with them.

These videos are reportedly uploaded to a private Telegram page, which is locked and accessible only at a cost. His recordings reportedly focus on the women while he hides his face from the cameras.

Yaytseslav is said to maintain active accounts on TikTok and YouTube, where he posts summary-style videos of these encounters.

Access to his Telegram channel reportedly costs about 400 Russian Rubles, roughly $5 per month.

Subscribers can reportedly view extended videos not allowed on YouTube, including recordings from inside his apartment and outings with the women.

One video in particular has fueled outrage. It reportedly features a woman named Angela, whom Yaytseslav allegedly met at the mall.

She is later seen at his residence wrapped in a large towel, a scene many online users have described as deeply concerning.

Apparently this Russian guy didn’t start his dealings in Ghana but started from other African countries.

Chale the videos plenty ooo… Some Ghanaian women😭🤦‍♂️ SMH. I think the guy should be arrested asap.

Those ladies are not stupid. Most ladies give in easily if they like a guy, and it happens in every country. The same ladies may not make it easy for other guys. The Russian guy is just stupid for posting it online to disgrace them. If the ladies were not aware he was posting it…

Is this Russian man thing scripted for adult content or it’s legit that they are unaware ? Isn’t that criminal ?

A foreigner took advantage of and recorded intimate conversations and acts with unassuming women and has released these sensitive images and footages and Ghanaian men are on this app framing it as he’s exposing how cheap women are.
The journey is long wallahi

I always say Ghanaian men make it easy for you to stay celibate.
Where is the appeal?
Look at their takes on issues surrounding women.
If I could close the legs of other women so they don’t open it for them i surely will. https://t.co/pbrj2fIs9d

this is a privacy violation and exploitation issue, not a “ghanaian men vs women” agenda. the man who recorded and leaked those videos should be condemned. at the same time, adults must take responsibility for their choices. reducing this to gender blame is intellectually… https://t.co/JDGsJj22Ri

no woman is cheap, so don’t judge ghanaian women based on that russian guy’s tactics. i’m just surprised how he barely says much, just a couple of compliments and suddenly you’re in his apartment. ei!

So a random Russian guy met Ghanaian women at the mall, and the next day they are in his bed…

Chale Ghana women be cheap oo

— Big Alpha (@BigAfellay) February 12, 2026

Yo, that Russian guy’s content is crazy. All the women in the videos I’ve seen didn’t even think twice just because he’s white. I don’t understand how some women think. you let your guard down just like that to a stranger? Now you’ve been recorded, how do you explain this.
