"YouTube[/B] has become a platform for broadcasting falsehoods about the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, discrediting the Russian armed forces," Roskomnadzor said, also accusing the site of publishing content by Ukrainian "extremists".
The also accuses it of censoring Russian state media, whose channels on You Tube have been shut down. Consequently, Google will no longer have the right to broadcast advertisements of Google LLC and its platforms in Russia. Moreover, Russian search engines will have to declare that Google and its affiliates violate Russian law when a search is carried out in their name. These measures are much less severe than those that have targeted other internet giants for similar charges. Facebook, Twitter or Instagram have therefore been blocked in Russia. Moreover, the transmission of information defaming the Russian military is subject to a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.
Berlin intercepted radio communications between Russians discussing the killings in Butchnya, according to Der Spiegel
German intelligence intercepted radio messages from Russian military sources referring to the killing of civilians in the Ukrainian town of Butchnya, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported today.
According to Der Spiegel, the agency presented its findings to parliament yesterday, Wednesday. The magazine did not cite a source for this information. According to Der Spiegel, the radio messages correspond to known deaths. In one of the intercepted ones, a soldier says he shot a man riding a bicycle. A body has been photographed lying next to a bicycle. Spiegel adds that there are additional recordings whose physical origin is more difficult to determine, which it says means that similar incidents have occurred in other Ukrainian cities.
Ukraine's government has accused Russia of genocide and war crimes. The Kremlin said the day before yesterday, Tuesday, that Western claims that Russian forces executed civilians in Butchnya are "monstrous fabrications" aimed at discrediting the Russian military and justifying new Western sanctions. Russia calls the evidence of civilian killings a cynical ploy by Ukraine and its Western backers, whom Moscow says are gripped by partisan anti-Russian paranoia. A German government spokesman declined to comment on Der Spiegel's report.
