Rosfinmonitoring added Meta* to the list of extremists and terrorists https://ria.ru/20221011/perechen-1823114534.html MOSCOW, Oct. 11 — RIA Novosti. Rosfinmonitoring has included Meta* Corporation in list terrorists and extremists. "List of terrorists and extremists (included). National part. Organizations: <... > 2. META PLATFORMS INC.," reads the agency's website. After the start of the special operation in Ukraine, Meta Platforms* temporarily lifted the ban on the social networks Facebook* and Instagram* on calls for violence against the Russian military, "but not against the civilian population." |

Energoatom TG post.
Rashists have started preparations for wintering at the ZNPP, the Russian occupiers are taking beds, mattresses, boilers and other household "tools" to the engine rooms of the 1st and 2nd power units of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. That is, the military of the Russian Federation is either trying to organize winter barracks at the ZNPP and significantly increase its presence at the station, which has become almost the only shelter for them in the temporarily occupied territory and which they have long since de facto turned into a military base. Or they plan to take the Zaporizhia NPP staff hostage even more harshly and not release the workers at all, as was the case during the occupation of the Chornobyl NPP. It remains to light a bonfire for heating at the station - and the absurdity would be finally complete...But no matter what the nuclear terrorists come up with, they won't have to spend the winter at the station. Because Ukraine, with the unanimous support of the entire civilized world, is working 24/7 to expel the Russian horde as soon as possible from all its territories, from all seized enterprises and factories, from every occupied home. We will definitely win! Everything will be Ukraine!#ZNPP ЗАЕС https://t.me/energoatom_ua |
