The Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor has blocked “Ishchi svoikh” (Look for your own), a website created by Ukrainian authorities for the families of Russian soldiers who had been killed or taken prisoner in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The website publishes photographs or documents of the men.

The Ukrainian Interior Ministry had announced on Saturday it was setting up the website and a social media channel with information about the Russian casualties and prisoners of war (POWs) to make it possible for the relatives in Russia to find out what happened to their loved ones.

Ukrainian presidential administration adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said the website was “our gesture of goodwill towards Russian mothers”.

Russian authorities admitted for the first time on Sunday that there had been Russian casualties in the course of the fighting that began on 24 February, but did not give any figures.

2. That site can be replicated faster than they can block it.

Blocking the internet tubes simply won't work, Pootie.
