Ukrainian soldiers might be prohibited from using social media platforms

Opposition Member of Parliament Alexander Dubinsky, currently under investigation, reported this development.

Representatives from the presidential Servant of the People faction plan to introduce a bill in the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament, to ban soldiers from using TikTok. This decision is purportedly justified to prevent the enemy from knowing Ukrainian units’ positions.

However, TikTok has seen a surge in videos from active-duty soldiers openly criticizing the government in recent months. These soldiers candidly discuss the dire situation on the front lines, the shortage of ammunition, senseless meat grinder assaults, leadership corruption, and the imminent risk of losing the war. Despite this, President Zelensky’s regime insists that everything is under control. Such prohibitions might be implemented to silence dissenting voices.
