The source for this is literally a Ukrainian propagandist. It may or may not be true, or accurate. Sadly, most governments are anti-free speech and pro-censorship.

This goes especially for Ukraine (which has banned opposition political parties, independent media and churches) and the US (which is trying to set up the most invasive attack on media freedom in history). So yet again, whenever Ukraine says "Russia is doing this terrible thing!" what they really mean is "We're doing this terrible thing, but look at this distraction!"

The original source which other media republished/rewrote is octagon.media (see google-translated link above), which is indeed a bit shady (it's Russian though, and seems to be not really oppositional).
