Vladimir Putin is cracking down on protests in Russia after some surprising results have occurred in Ukraine.. more opposition than expected and some surprising losses of Russian soldiers..
From Defense One:
Some soldiers report that they didn’t even know they were being sent to actual combat!!
Russian media has been inundating listeners, viewers, and readers with false messagingabout the conflict and its origins. Even soldiers captured during the invasion have told interviewers that they believed they were taking part in exercises, said Olena Prokopenko
The Russian government took steps Friday to further limit what its citizens can see in media and on the internet: “slowing” access to Facebook and ordering state and independent outlets to use only governmental sources in their reporting on Ukraine.
Russia will “partially restrict access in the form of slowing down traffic” to the social-media platform, Russia’s telecommunications agency said, in response to Facebook’s own “restricting” of four state-owned media sites: the Zvezda TV channel, the RIA Novosti news agency, and the Lenta.ru and Gazeta.ru Internet sites.
