Additional information:
Russia’s Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) has demanded that the news outlet Sova.news remove material on Russian war crimes within 24 hours. The website is expected to be blocked in Russia if it fails to do so. Earlier, similar measures were taken against other foreign media outlets. Roskomnadzor demands the removal of an issue of the Ambavi program entitled «The Crimes of the Russian Federation: From the Sovietization of Georgia to the War in Ukraine». The editorial board of Sova considers the notice from Roskomnadzor an attempt to censor a foreign information resource.
