Russian authorities have begun to fine for photos and videos of the aftermath of Ukrainian strikes. Residents and journalists are being actively persecuted for any posts, reports The Moscow Times.
42 reports have already been sent to court in the Kaluga region against local residents, journalists, and social media administrators who disseminated information about the hits. In the Tula region, the first Russian has already been fined 25,000 rubles for a video of an attack on the city of Aleksin.
In total, a ban on posting such content has been introduced in 12 regions of Russia, including Kaluga, Tula, St. Petersburg, and others. The authorities justify this move by saying that the footage released helps Ukraine to plan further attacks.
The amount of fines for individuals ranges from 1 to 5 thousand rubles, for legal entities - up to 1 million. In some regions, fines have not yet been imposed, but control is being tightened, while locals are being warned about the dangers of disseminating such information.
Explosions on the territory of Russia
Ukrainian drones regularly carry out precision strikes on key targets in Russia that are involved in the war against Ukraine. They target military enterprises, warehouses, railroad junctions, and important enemy logistics centers.
For example, a drone strike shut down a plant producing components for Russian missiles in Cheboksary. Read more about where the drone hit in RBC-Ukraine's article.
On the night of June 6, Ukraine carried out preemptive strikes on the airfields of enemy aircraft directly involved in the attacks on Ukraine. Read about it in a separate RBC-Ukraine article.
