Activists are using the platform to find Russian cafes and restaurants and leave reviews to deliver anti-war messages to Russian citizens. “Five thousand Russian soldiers died in Ukraine … Your president deceived you. There was no genocide in Ukraine. It was a <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/02/03/pentagon-outlines-russian-false-flag-plans-to-justify-ukraine-invasion/" target="_blank">pretext</a> for attacking a sovereign and democratic Ukraine,” reads one translated review of a Starbucks in Moscow. “[President Vladimir] Putin lied to you!!! He sent young boys to the war, who did not know that they were going to die there … Russian people, wake up!!!” One user, leaving a review for Maestrello, a pizzeria, wrote: “Russia attacked Ukraine. Your soldiers are bombing my city. My country!” Another added: “The pizza is the bomb!! Due to military sanctions, this restaurant will soon be closed! What a pity!” Twitter and <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/technology/2022/02/26/meta-bars-russian-state-media-from-running-ads-on-platform/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> have both been restricted in Russia as the country attempts to limit the flow of information, with Russians telling <i>The National</i> they are unable to communicate through Facebook's Messenger app. The Russian rouble plummeted on Monday, falling to <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/markets/2022/02/28/rouble-plunges-to-record-new-low-following-tighter-western-sanctions/" target="_blank">a record low against the dollar</a>, after the US and European nations placed a series of harsh sanctions on Moscow in response to the assault. “Your government lies, you are bombing innocent people. Nobody want to attack Russia, we want peace. Your president is [a] war criminal,” a review of Boston Seafood & Bar, a restaurant in Moscow, said. Russia on Sunday for the first time stated that some of its forces had been killed or wounded in <a href="http://thenationalnews.com/tags/ukraine" target="_blank">Ukraine</a>, though it did not provide any numbers. Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday claimed 4,500 Russian troops have been killed.
