Putin Expands Secrecy Law to Tighten Wartime Control in Russia
President Vladimir Putin has expanded the range of information covered by Russia's state secrecy law, further tightening his grip on society as his war in Ukraine continues.
Details of Russia's foreign policy, international trade and economic policy, scientific developments and preparations for possible military mobilization may all now be classified as secret if disclosure is considered to harm national security, according to a decree published on the government's legal website. Anyone receiving such material in an unauthorized way could face as much as eight years in prison.
