MOSCOW (Reuters) -The web site of the British newspaper The Telegraph has been blocked in Russia following a request from the prosecutor normal, information from the state communications regulator Roskomnadzor confirmed on Tuesday.
Entry to the location was restricted after it was discovered to have disseminated “inaccurate details about the particular navy operation carried out by Russia’s Armed Forces on the territory of Ukraine”, TASS information company cited the regulator as saying.
Since sending troops into Ukraine in February, Russia has cracked down on media protection of the battle, blocking the web sites of overseas information shops it deems to have unfold “faux” information about its navy marketing campaign.
Moscow calls its actions a “particular navy operation” to guard Ukraine’s Russian-speaking inhabitants from persecution, however Kyiv and its allies say this can be a baseless pretext for a land seize that has killed hundreds and pushed tens of millions from their properties.
