Deputy Defense Minister Hannah Maliar published an urgent plea on her telegram (annamaliar):
“At the request of our military, I appeal to all telegram channels that inform about the operational situation at the front. Do not publish 🙏 news from the front live and day after day - ours get immediately covered after that. Well, such is the specificity of our enemy. Only after the information has been made public by the official speakers - the General Staff, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense. We all coordinate information prior to release with operational security units and directly with field commands.”

This is your reminder not to post or repost information or videos of Ukrainian troop movements unless it’s from an official source or they are several days old. Videos without source will be deleted. There, apparently, have been cases where RU found out their position was taken by UA through OSINT and social media, handily with geolocation and all. These positions then got shelled.
Now, you might say that the videos are out there and the russians can geolocate themselves. That is true, but there is absolutely no reason to make it easy or to do the work for them.
You break OPSEC, you get banned.
This, of course, does not go for russian OPSEC breaches, russian positions, fire positions or handy videos by russian war bloggers showing russian troop concentrations. Please geolocate these as you please, as fast as you can, and spread them everywhere.

Ah, another person with figurative Ukrainian blood on their hands.
