Ukraine, Kaliningrad court: “Russian losses are a state secret”

The Svitlogorsk City Court of the Kaliningrad Region recognized the list of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine, compiled by the Pskov 60.Ru portal, as ‘prohibited’ information. The lawsuit was brought by the military prosecutor of the 73rd Military Prosecutor’s Office of the Baltic Fleet Garrison. The court ruled that the information reveals “wartime and peacetime personnel losses during ‘special operations'” and found this data to be “state secrets”. Therefore, their disclosure could lead to criminal liability. To report it to the online newspaper Tayga Info while the sites that had disseminated the lists promptly removed them, apologizing to the readers.
