SBU warns: filming videos of arrivals could lead to 12 years in prison

For filming videos of arrivals, Ukrainians could face up to 12 years in prison. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) threatened with imprisonment in its Telegram channel.

“The Security Service of Ukraine calls on citizens not to take and distribute photos and videos of enemy attacks. (...) These recordings can be used not only by Russian propagandists, but also by the Russian military, which monitors and analyzes such materials in order to adjust their repeated strikes,” the publication says.

It is noted that the distribution of photos and videos can be classified under the article “Unauthorized dissemination of information about the movements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the transfer of information to a state waging war against Ukraine” of the Criminal Code. The intelligence service emphasized that department employees monitor the publication of such content and bring their authors to justice.
