The changes Putin greenlighted limit coverage of Central Election Commission sessions to registered media outlets, which could exclude freelancers or independent journalists, according to the reports on Tuesday.
The amendments prohibit media from reporting on the commission’s actions at military bases or in areas under martial law without advance clearance from regional and military authorities.
They also bar the publication of any campaign content on “blocked sources”, referring to restricted websites and social media services.
Under an intensifying crackdown on the opposition and the flow of information, Russia has banned an array of websites and services, including Facebook and Instagram.
To enforce this ban, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media also reportedly plans to block certain virtual private networks (VPNs) that Russians widely use to bypass internet restrictions.
The state-owned news agency RIA quoted the ministry on Sunday as saying that it could block certain “VPN services and VPN protocols” that an expert commission identifies as a “threat.”

Patrushev approves new media restrictions ahead of presidential election
Guess he taking a page out of the DNC play book.
Patrushev also preparing for a private enterprise nationalization spree in advance of March 17. Commies gotta commie.
Yep.
There are a number of websites that seem to know the locations of troops and fortifications on both sides. They often provide hourly updates on the swings of battle. I can’t see any military strategist being comfortable with the current situation.
“Registered Media Outlets” only.
The word on the street is that Jon Preston will hold the ministerial position of American Propaganda and Lies in the new Putin Administration
fixed it
Unlike Ukraine, which is apparently not having elections.
Taking a page out of the Biden regime’s playbook?
I can’t wait for Tucker Carlson to be VP of the US. He will put a stop to this Ukraine nonsense and ripoff of US taxpayers.
“Guess he taking a page out of the DNC play book.”
At least the Russians know that their government is restricting the media. In the US it took Musk taking control of Twitter to find out the same.
Are you talking about the same Tucker Carlson who boycotted his own mother’s funeral?
Wait, what????
Putin is dead, correct?
Zelensky retaliates:
Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t, we need him as VP to stop this crap you are pushing along with your Bidenistas to bankrupt America.
Tucker was a collaborator in The Steal. He went MIA in November and December 2020 while the election was being stolen from President Trump.
