Dissemination of information about the direction or movement of international military aid to Ukraine if it has not been made publicly available by the General Staff of the AFU or without receiving written permission from the General Staff for its distribution, committed under martial law or state of emergency, will be punished by imprisonment for a term of three to five years.

At the same time the illegal dissemination of information about the movement, movement or location of the AFU or other military formations is punishable by five to eight years' imprisonment.

The same actions committed by a group of people by prior agreement, or for mercenary motives, or with the purpose of providing such information to the aggressor state or illegal armed groups are punishable by imprisonment from eight to twelve years.
