On 20 July 2022, Tochka Dostupu, an online media based in Kropyvnytskiy, received a letter from Russia’s internet regulator and censor Roskmonadzor, demanding to delete an article from 2015. Olha Zyma, the media’s Editor-in-Chief, said that the article in question related to a far-right Ukrainian politician and his demands on creating a voluntary army corpus. Roskomnadzor demanded its removal within 24 hours, stating that otherwise the website would be blocked in Russia, and alleging that the text violated laws on publishing information. Zyma said that Tochka Dostupu would not comply with the order.
