The Russian government has banned the import into the country of foreign devices for transmitting and receiving radio waves from space-based communication objects — communications satellites. This includes, in particular, Starlink terminals.

This has been reported by the Lviv Regional Police.

They stated that on the morning of 1 May, they received a report from an official of the Lviv City Council regarding the theft of a plaque from the façade of a building. Operatives from the police’s criminal investigation department and the Security Service of Ukraine’s Lviv Regional Office were involved in the search for the perpetrators.

They turned out to be three 18-year-old residents of the Mykolaiv region. They were detained, and the police opened a case for theft. The penalty under this section provides for five to eight years’ imprisonment. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

Dzhokhar Dudaev was the first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, who fought for independence from Russia in the 1990s. He was killed in April 1996 by a direct missile strike from a Russian Su-25 aircraft. Dudaev supported Ukraine and all the nations that had broken free from the Soviet regime.
