Disclosing PPO activity or hit locations may result in a life sentence
Russian special services are attempting to recruit Ukrainians to collect intelligence by offering payment for photos and videos of drone attack impacts. The Center for Countering Disinformation warns that such activities constitute a state crime. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Center for Countering Disinformation.
Occupation agencies are utilizing specialized chatbots to conduct remote monitoring of their own attack outcomes. By recruiting civilians to cooperate, they effectively transform them into instruments for target re-evaluation and the adjustment of subsequent strikes against the infrastructure of Ukrainian cities.
Criminal liability for cooperation
The agency emphasizes the prohibition on sharing details regarding the movement of enemy aerial assets, the performance of Ukrainian air defense systems, and specific locations hit. Such actions are classified under Ukrainian law as criminal offenses.
Under current regulations, the transmission of such data to the enemy is punishable by lengthy prison terms. In the most severe instances of crimes against national security, the court may impose a life sentence.
Civilian safety measures
Citizens are urged to ignore any proposals from enemy accounts and to refrain from filming military objects. Sharing visual materials on social media or via messengers directly contributes to the occupant’s military efforts.
Experts stress that refusing to engage with such chatbots is a critical element of safety for both individuals and the community as a whole. Maintaining informational silence remains vital for protecting the state’s defensive capabilities.
