SIS requests the blocking of access to seven Russian propaganda sites in the Republic of Moldova

The Information and Security Service (SIS) of the Republic of Moldova submitted a request to block access to seven other websites. These include six Russian news portals, through which several fakes and propaganda are distributed, as well as a local portal promoting anti-EU messages. The information was confirmed for Teleradio-Moldova by Daniela Mânzatu, the spokeswoman of the institution.

Thus, SIS requested mobile phone and internet operators in our country to block the following web pages:

• nuacum.eu • ng.ru • ria.ru • gazetacrimea.ru • crimea.gov.ru • crimea.ria.ru • crimea24tv.ru

The SIS notification was issued and was sent to the operators on September 25. They have to comply within 24 hours. So far, only one mobile operator has complied with the SIS request.

We remind you that, in 2023, the Information and Security Service requested the blocking of access to dozens of web pages from Russia and the Republic of Moldova. In August, SIS notified several providers of electronic communications services regarding the blocking of their users' access to the web resources of the financial-banking institution in the Russian Federation – Promsveazibank, which is included in the international sanctions. The SIS stated that it has identified risks that present a particular danger to the security of the state and seriously and irremediably affect the national objectives on the financial and banking market of the Republic of Moldova.
