Additional information:
The editor-in-chief of the influential local newspaper Priazovsky Rabochiy became aware that the Russian occupation authorities, along with humanitarian aid, were issuing a newspaper under their brand, style, and logo, which had explicit pro-Russian rhetoric. It is worth noting that the last real edition of the newspaper was issued on February 23. After that, the editorial staff did not have an opportunity to prepare and produce a printed edition.
