Russia creates information isolation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and prevents access to Ukrainian and international sources of information.
This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Facebook .
In particular, representatives of the occupation authorities of Donetsk and Luhansk regions signed decrees prohibiting the sale, installation and use of television satellite equipment that can “catch” Ukrainian TV channels.
By November 1, TOT planned to completely confiscate, in their opinion, illegal equipment.
In addition, the Kremlin has made it mandatory to block Russian SIM cards for civilians who have not linked their passport data to them.
“This decision is aimed at speeding up the forced “passportization” and putting additional pressure on Ukrainians who refuse to obtain Russian passports,” the GUR said in a statement.
In case of refusal of passporting, TOT residents will completely lose access to mobile communications.
At the same time, the occupiers obliged the authors of Telegram channels in the temporarily occupied territories, which have more than 10,000 subscribers, to add a special bot from “Roskomnadzor”.
He has admin rights and can edit and delete posts and block comments. Consequently, any posts highlighting corruption in the occupation administrations or criticizing the Russian government may be immediately removed or edited.
“The purpose of such measures is to create an informational “bubble” in the temporarily occupied territories, where access to Ukrainian and international resources is blocked, and any information not under the control of the Kremlin is immediately censored,” the HUR emphasizes.
