Digital warfare reaches fuel maps as Ukrainian users create confusion across Russia (www.techradar.com)

A coordinated online campaign has reportedly encouraged users to alter fuel station information on digital maps across Russia, creating confusion among drivers.

The activity involves changing station statuses by marking locations with available fuel as empty or showing closed stations as operational.

Supporters of the campaign claim the effort is designed to disrupt travel decisions, increase uncertainty, and create additional pressure around fuel availability.

The people of Ukraine are having their homes destroyed, their families murdered, and their children kidnapped

The people of Russia don't have gasoline

This is indeed terrible, but do you imply that everything Ukraine does now is fair game because of it? Would you also cheer them on if they openly used chemical weapons, tortured POW's, and terrorized Russian citizens and nationals?

I'm not an expert on international law or human rights, but I think posting fake gas prices and " used chemical weapons, tortured POW's, and terrorized Russian citizens and nationals" are in slightly different categories.

Of course bad faith arguments usually don't hold water...
