Attacks continue in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While the world’s reactions to Russia are increasing day by day, censorship is applied to the anti-war discourses of Russian citizens. It was learned that the protester was detained after a protest during a live broadcast in Russia in the past days. As the protester’s news bulletin was broadcast, he stood behind the presenter and unfurled a “no to war” banner. The banner read, “Stop the war. Do not believe the propaganda. They are lying to you here”. After the developments, Polish hackers eliminated Russia’s censorship and information circulation blocking systems and established a website that can send text messages and e-mails to Russian citizens.
THE GROUP NAMED ‘SQUAD 303’ THAT FOUND THE SITE: OUR GOAL WAS TO DESTROY THE DIGITAL WALL THAT PUTIN BUILDED
He sent more than 20 million SMS about the war in Ukraine to Russian citizens living all over the world. The spokesperson of the group called “Squad 303”, which founded the site, said, “Our aim was to break down the digital wall that Putin set up.”
Polish hackers, who named themselves ‘Squad 303’ in reference to the 303rd Aviator Squadron, which had great success during the Second World War, seized 20 million mobile phone numbers and nearly 140 million e-mail addresses belonging to individuals and companies from Russia.
HERE IS THE MESSAGE SENT TO RUSSIAN CITIZENS
In the message sent to Russian citizens, “We, the people of the world, have a message for the Russian nation. That nation will pay a great price because of dictator Putin, who made the shameful decision to attack independent Ukraine with armed force. His answer will cause the collapse of the entire country (Russia). But nearly 150 million Russians do not know the truth about the causes and aims of the war in Ukraine. This situation is maintained by the Kremlin’s lies and propaganda. There is no free media in Russia and the internet is censored. We can send messages directly to the citizens of this country who are in captivity.
While the messages sent so far exceeded 20 million, hackers who made a statement from their social media account stated that 20 million messages were sent and 120 million more messages will be sent. (UAV)
