A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that since launching the illegal, full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian state has increasingly sought to control, censor and constrict its domestic information environment.
New proposed amendments to Russia's communications legislation would allow the FSB to cut off individual telecom subscribers without court orders, citing 'state security'. The draft, which has cleared a key government commission, builds on the 2019 'Sovereign Internet Law, which enabled Russia's isolation from global networks, as well as domestic traffic control and surveillance.
As the federal executive agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring Russian mass media, Roskomnadzor's powers have also expanded to reroute or sever internet access during perceived threats.
Independent outlets warn of growing surveillance, with Telegram infrastructure firms reportedly being linked to Russian intelligence. Ukrainian authorities have called the move "a tool of repression, masked as security".
