Russian Embassy, Andries Bickerweg. The Hague, The Netherlands. Friday 3rd June, 2022. Information source: Meduza.com. Today, June 3 marks 100 day’s since Russia launched its full invasion of Ukraine. On the eve of the event Putin’s administration had “asked” state-controlled and pro-media outlets “not to focus attention” on the duration of the ‘Special military operation.” These instructions were handed down on June 2, the eve of the Russian invasion entering its hundredth day. Four separate sources told Meduza about the Kremlin’s request: one from a state-controlled media outlet, one from the Moscow Mayor’s Office, one from a pro-Kremlin publication, and one from Putin’s administration itself.
