Hello all, 

We share your concern for the ongoing threats to our community members in Ukraine and Russia, as well as our global mission to share free and open knowledge. As Ziko just shared, the Foundation issued a statement earlier today on the crisis in Ukraine. We will continue to connect with our communities in the area and monitor for any cyber attacks or threats of disinformation.

Earlier today, the Wikimedia Foundation received a letter from Roskomnadzor asking for removal of an article on Russian Wikipedia about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Wikimedia Russia also has a copy of this letter and has shared it on the Russian Wikipedia village pump. We appreciate the effort of the many editors working in this area to ensure that Wikipedia has high quality content, and we are currently reviewing what our options are to challenge the request. 

Thank you,

Stephen
