Additional information:

In the Moscow Region, searches were conducted at the apartment of the director of the Odintsovo-INFO portal Andrey Ostroukhov and four of his employees. Investigations were conducted in the criminal case of «military fakes» (Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), which was initiated because of the Odintsovo-INFO’s publications on the events in Ukraine. The law enforcement officers did not seize anything, but they were looking for server equipment. They were interested in the material published by one of the website’s users in early May, «A clear response to Russian citizens to war crimes in Ukrainian Bucha». Ostroukhov was summoned for interrogation as a witness.
