The screenshot of the document, published on Twitter, says that the article contains information distributed in violation of Russian law. In particular, “information about the numerous casualties among the military personnel of the Russian Federation, as well as the civilian population of Ukraine, including children, about the need to withdraw funds from accounts in Russian banks in connection with sanctions imposed by foreign states.”
Vedomosti sent a request to Roskomnadzor.
Earlier, on February 24, Roskomnadzor stated that the media and other information resources, when preparing materials about the Russian military operation in Donbass, are obliged to use only information from official Russian sources. Two days later, the department warned of blocking publications that called the military operation an “attack, invasion or declaration of war,” as well as providing other false information about the course of the special operation in Donbass.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation in the Donbass. The head of state called the goal of the operation “the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.” At the same time, Putin announced the absence of plans to occupy Ukraine. At the same time, Moscow, he said, is striving for the demilitarization and denazification of the republic.
Earlier today, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the military operation would continue until the set goals were achieved. The main task of the operation in Ukraine is to protect Russia from a military threat from Western countries that are trying to use the Ukrainian people in the fight against Russia, the head of the department explained.
