Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill introducing a prison sentence of up to 15 years for spreading information that goes against the Russian government’s position on the war in Ukraine.
The bill criminalizing the intentional spreading of what Russia deems to be “fake” reports about the war was quickly rubber-stamped by both houses of the Kremlin-controlled parliament earlier Friday. Russian authorities have repeatedly decried reports of Russian military setbacks or civilian deaths in Ukraine as “fake” reports. State media outlets refer to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “special military operation” rather than a “war” or “invasion.” The law envisages sentences of up to three years or fines for spreading what authorities deem to be false news about the military, but the maximum punishment rises to 15 years for cases deemed to have led to “severe consequences.” Also Friday, the state communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor, blocked Facebook and five foreign media organizations based abroad which publish news in Russian in a sweeping action to establish tight control over information about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://apnews.com/article/ussia-ukr...da1ec37619d148 |

CNN and Bloomberg News will temporarily suspend their work in Russia.
It comes after President Vladimir Putin signed legislation that imposes prison terms of up to 15 years on people charged with spreading “fake news” about the war in Ukraine. “The change to the criminal code, which seems designed to turn any independent reporter into a criminal purely by association, makes it impossible to continue any semblance of normal journalism inside the country,” said Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. A spokesperson for CNN said it would stop broadcasting in Russia "while we continue to evaluate the situation and our next steps moving forward". The BBC suspended its own operations within the country earlier on Friday. Several websites - including BBC Russian - are no longer accessible within the country. Nor are Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. |

It's looking like genocide now there are more and more reports of soldiers randomly killing fleeing families.
Edit: That said this is the latest.. Partial ceasefire due to start in 30 minutes More detail has emerged on the*partial ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol*this morning. The measure will allow civilians to leave the city during a five-hour period from Saturday morning. From Reuters, citing Russia’s RIA news agency: Civilians will be allowed to leave Mariupol between noon and 5 p.m. Moscow time (0900 - 1400 GMT), Russia’s RIA news agency quoted city authorities as saying. This is*11am to 4pm local time.Russia said earlier on Saturday its troops, which have encircled the Azov Sea port city in Ukraine’s south, would stop firing and allow civilians to pass. Russia also plans a partial ceasefire to allow a humanitarian corridor out of Volnovakha.Civilians will be able to proceed towards the city of Zaporizhzhia and will be able to use specially arranged bus routes or their own cars, the city council said. Saturday’s evacuation will be the first of several stages, the city council said. “Given that our hometown is constantly under ruthless fire from the occupiers, there is no other solution,” the statement quoted Mayor Vadym Boychenko as saying. https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...says-zelenskiy
