Providers are required to report the blocking of the spzh.eu resource by notifying the State Service of Special Communications via email. The blocking will remain in effect until the end of martial law or its cancellation. According to the directive, the blocking is being carried out at the request of the SBU.

This marks the fifth time the "Union of Orthodox Journalists" platform has been blocked.

Previously, the UOJ reported that its website had once again been blocked in Ukraine at the request of the SBU.
