Criminal liability provided: which sites in Ukraine are forbidden to photograph during martial law
During martial law in Ukraine it is prohibited to disseminate photo and video materials that could be used to determine the locations of military units, headquarters, checkpoints, fortifications, air defense systems, and other defense-related sites.
Even an ordinary photograph without an address can reveal the location of Ukrainian forces to the enemy if it shows distinctive buildings, road signs, terrain features, or geolocation. Criminal liability is provided for unauthorized dissemination of such information — up to 12 years of imprisonment.
This is stated in an explanation from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The ministry emphasizes that during wartime information about the location and movements of the Defense Forces can help the enemy select targets and adjust strikes, so the law places restrictions on its dissemination.
