In the Rostov Region, a ban is in effect on filming aerial attacks and their aftermath, air defense operations, and military unit locations. The corresponding Governor's decree was published on the "Caucasian Knot."
In other regions of the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, including the Volgograd Region, filming drone attacks and their aftermath is also prohibited. These prohibitions contradict the Constitution, which guarantees the inadmissibility of censorship and the freedom to seek, record, and disseminate information, lawyers pointed out.
