The authorities of Irpen, Kiev region, have banned journalists from entering the city, said Mayor Oleksandr Markushin.
"As of today, we prohibit journalists from entering Irpen. Thus, we want to save the lives of both them and our defenders. I very much ask all representatives of the media, as well as all Ukrainians - do not publish in social networks our soldiers, their equipment or anything that would indicate their location! This is very important," Markushin said in his Telegram channel.
