In recent weeks, Russia has blocked and banned access in the country to various media and other sources of information, both international and Russian, critical of the Kremlin.
The argument presented is that these media spread false information about the so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine or allow, in the case of social networks, calls for violence against Russians, including the military.
Among the media banned in Russia are international media such as Euronews, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Voice of America and Radio Liberty, as well as Russian independents Echo Moscow, Tv Rain and Meduza (based in Latvia).
In addition, Russia has restricted access to Google’s news service and the social networks Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

According to the United Nations, around 13 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Ukraine.
