Russia imposes a fine on Wikipedia as ``I wrote information different from the government's view''
Since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Russia has enacted laws that can block or fine sites that spread information that contradicts the government's official stance. It turned out that a Russian court fined the Wikimedia Foundation, which operates Wikipedia, with a fine of 2 million rubles (about 3.6 million yen), saying that Wikipedia violated this law.

The Russian side claims that Wikipedia had an error in an article about the Russian military and that the fine was imposed because the incorrect information was not removed despite a request to remove it.
This is the third time the Wikimedia Foundation has been fined by Russia since it invaded Ukraine. Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, it threatened to fine Wikipedia for providing false information.
