Dear friends,

“Russian” websites in/from the LDNR are being disconnected by US IT giants.

The Russian Foreign Ministry seems to be under DDoS attack.

If we come under attack too, then the first quick alternative I recommend is to check the old website, here:

http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/

If this one is also disconnected, we have a few other options we cannot discuss now.

If that happens, I will use the following Telegram channel to keep you informed:

Please do NOT post any comments below unless they refer to a possible attack or how to bypass it. Only PURELY TECHNICAL posts are allowed in the comments section below.
