Unauthorized edict imposing restrictions on residents within Sverdlovsk, Russia
Busting False Rumors
Swirling on the web is a phony proclamation about restrictions during the Russia Day celebration in the Sverdlovsk region. Sound the alarm, folks! It's been verified as a lie by "Anti-Terror Urals." Our source stumbled upon this news tidbit as part of a joint mission with "Lapsha Media," aimed at debunking hoaxes.
"Anti-Terror Urals pleads: another phony declaration is plaguing social media," declares the Telegram channel birthed by the Department of Information Policy within the Sverdlovsk region. Here's the kicker: no such document exists on the regional legal information portal.
Remember the fiction letter, allegedly signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, that circulated the internet about blocking Russian citizens' accounts and cards? Guess where we reported on that? Yup, right here.
