OREANDA-NEWS The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation against the background of actions against military actions in Ukraine has once again warned of responsibility for participation in unauthorized actions.

As stated in the message of the Investigative Committee, "in social networks and the media, the holding of possible mass actions in the coming days due to the tense foreign policy situation is being discussed again."

The Investigative Committee claims that such protests are "coordinated from abroad," and the participants of the actions fall "under the influence of provocateurs." The Investigative Committee also unobtrusively recalls that participation "in mass riots accompanied by violence is punishable by imprisonment for up to 8 years, and their organization - up to 15 years."

"If a minor is involved in committing illegal actions using the Internet, the law establishes a penalty of up to 3 years in prison," the security forces point out.

"Addressing young people, students of educational institutions, we ask them not to succumb to provocations and not to follow calls on social networks," the statement says.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of the so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine. Its goal is "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine."
