Russia to reduce Ukrainians’ access to news: UK Govt
Russia is probably targeting Ukraine’s communication infrastructure to reduce access to reliable news sources, says the UK’s Ministry of Defence.
“Russia is probably targeting Ukraine’s communications infrastructure in order to reduce Ukrainian citizens’ access to reliable news and information,” the defence ministry said in a Monday intelligence update.
The TV tower in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv was damaged in a Russian attack on Sunday, according to Ukrainian officials.
Earlier, at least five people were killed in a suspected missile attack on Kyiv’s TV tower on Tuesday.
“Ukrainian internet access is also highly likely being disrupted as a result of collateral damage from Russian strikes on infrastructure,” explained the MoD. “Over the past week, internet outages have been reported in Mariupol, Sumy, Kyiv and Kharkiv.”
