Russia, via a local proxy, is imposing a ban on public gatherings and strikes in occupied Ukraine. A decree published Sunday also announces that "military censorship" will be imposed on the internet. In a decree published Sunday, Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk People's Republic, "imposed military censorship on mail, Internet communications and phone conversations," Russian state media reported. The decree also prohibits public gatherings that have not received prior approval from military authorities, according to Reuters. The order comes as Ukrainian and Russian forces clash along the borders of Donetsk, which Moscow formally (and illegally) annexed last year.

Ukrainian intelligence said Thursday its agents had seized propaganda found inside Russian Orthodox churches. In a statement, Ukraine's SBU also said it found Russian passports and looted icons. It also released a photo of those agents that included a cat whose face was blurred.
