Additional information:

At the demand of the General Prosecutor’s Office, Roskomnadzor has blocked the website of The Village Belarus. A day earlier, the editorial office received a letter from Roskomnadzor demanding to remove the article with a review of the Russian version of the rocket attack on the train station in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. The General Prosecutor’s Office considered that the text contained «fakes» about acts of terrorism. The editorial office refused to comply with the demand.
