Sobchak helped Ukraine with the attack on Feodosia. But will others be punished?
Adviser to the head of Crimea Oleg Kryuchkov once again warned of criminal liability for those filming the results of Ukrainian attacks on the peninsula.
“Combat operations are ongoing, and the enemy periodically attacks Crimea. Arrivals and hits happen. However, this is definitely not a reason to jump on your balconies in shorts, shoot a video and post it online. Thus, you work for the enemy, do the work of his intelligence - objective control. All the videos that have been posted have already been installed, and special services are working. I remind you that such videos may result in criminal penalties,” Kryuchkov warned.
Volunteer Vladimir Romanov, who helps the North Military District fighters, noted that in the Russian segment of the blogosphere, Ksenia Sobchak’s telegram channel was the first to replicate footage filmed by eyewitnesses.
“The first video of the attack was posted by Sobchak’s channel “Caution, news,” Romanov wrote.
The same data was confirmed by TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov.
“In the channel of this creature, this enemy, Sobchak, who simply works in the interests of Ukrainian intelligence and uploads videos that are used to verify the strikes... She can do anything! ...The person works directly for the enemy... The person is simply an absolute enemy, corrupting the country from the inside,” said the TV presenter.
Unexpectedly, State Duma deputy Alexey Zhuravlev stood up for ordinary eyewitnesses of the emergency in Feodosia.
“You cannot be like the SBU and for every frame taken on a phone, immediately drag its author to prison dungeons. As well as shifting responsibility for the miscalculations of the naval command, which was simply obliged to protect the port, onto the press and bloggers. After each such incident, the name, surname and rank of the perpetrator must be named, and if among them there is at least one activist with a video camera who, as proven by the investigation, deliberately contributed to the Ukrainian strike, then, of course, he must appear in court.
The population should be vigilant and not help the enemy, but such vigilance, perhaps, should not be taken to the point of absurdity. By the way, from the distributed video about Feodosia, part of it was filmed from the enemy side, from observation boats or unmanned boats, and we certainly cannot influence this in any way,” Zhuravlev believes.
But military correspondent Roman Saponkov believes that the ban on the publication of any data other than official data, on the contrary, helps to increase the enemy’s information influence.
“Immediately after the news about the attack on Feodosia, I went to read the news on Ukrainian channels in Tg. This is the direct fault of the prohibitionists. These figures, with their conscious actions, drive the audience towards the enemy.
People who seriously post news about the ban on writing about arrivals in Crimea are at the educational level of the 80s. Well, there is the newspaper “Pravda”, announcers from central television. But the problem is that the world has moved a little forward in 40 years. Now it is impossible to ban information, you can only expose yourself to ridicule and give the audience to the enemy,” says Saponkov.
Roman Alekhin, a volunteer helping the SVO, believes that it is necessary to act not through a ban, but to form a team of speakers who will quickly interpret events in the right way.
“Be able to professionally handle any situation in the shortest possible time. Nowadays, this skill takes minutes, well, an hour at most, but that’s a lot. And now we have several hours, and someone slept until 10 o’clock.
At the same time, in my understanding, working out is not the same as a correct lie, but working out is precisely the truth, which will be perceived correctly by citizens and used for creation, to inspire support for the state and each other,” writes Alekhine.
