The Russian authorities describe the ongoing attack as a “special operation”. The only information allowed for publication in Russia about the war in Ukraine is that from the official communications of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The penalty for non-compliance with the regulation is a blockade.
Many TV and radio stations have not complied with the bans of Russian censorship. Blocked by this were, inter alia, Nastojaszczje Vremya (Current Time TV), the Russian version of Crimea.Realities, “The New Times” website, Tajga.info portal, as well as Ukrainian media such as Interfax.
