The Minister of Public Communications warned journalists from Belgorod that they would lose all opportunities if they do not stop covering the difficulties with internet access.

During a discussion in a closed chat, which included the chief editors and owners of leading media outlets in the Belgorod region, Minister of Public Communications Oksana Taranova urged press representatives to refrain from reporting on internet shutdowns. According to her, otherwise, access to the network could be completely terminated. The publication "Ashes of Belgorod" drew attention to this appeal.
