Additional information:

The Ministry of Information of Belarus issued a written warning to the founder of the FM radio station Radio Roks-M. The reason for the decision was that the editorial board allegedly violated Articles 14 and 29 of the Law on Mass Media. The Ministry of Information pointed out that it had conducted «monitoring» and «established numerous facts of dissemination of materials not related to the components of the specialization, which is reflected in the registration documents of the radio program». Presumably, the reason for the sanction was the information on the air of the radio station about Russian military aggression in Ukraine.
