Additional information:

Roskomnadzor blocked the website of the media Cherta on the territory of the Russian Federation by the decision of the Prosecutor General’s Office. «We did not receive any notifications or warnings, so we can only guess at the reasons for the blocking. Perhaps it is related to the texts about the war in Ukraine. There were quite a few of them during that time. For example, we told about a family from the Kursk region, which is looking for a son missing in the war, about a conscript who was sent to Ukraine, about the evidence of atrocities of the Russian army in Bucha», — commented the editor-in-chief of Cherta Ilya Panin.
