Russian citizens were offered a glimpse of the horrors of the Ukrainian war when hackers Anonymous took over several streaming services and TV channels, the group claims.
On Sunday streaming services Wink and Ivi, as well as live TV channels Russia 24, Channel One and Moscow 24, briefly broadcast footage of the war.
Clips showed large explosions erupting in cities targeted by Russians strikes, and an unexploded missile stuck in the ground.
The videos were accompanied by a strong anti-war message.

"We are ordinary citizens of Russia," it read.
"We oppose the war on the territory of Ukraine. Russia and the Russians against the war!
"This war was waged by Putin's criminal, authoritarian regime on behalf of ordinary Russian citizens. Russians, oppose the genocide in Ukraine."
Anonymous has been actively targeting Russia in cyberspace since the invasion began at the end of February.
They have claimed credit for shutting down government sites with DDOs attacks.
Their latest stunt seems designed to break through to Russians who primarily get their news through TV stations, all of which are closely controlled by the state.
These new channels have been pushing a pro-Kremlin line and referring to the invasion as a "special operation", while avoiding words such as "war".
The Russian authorities seem bent on quieting independent voices by introducing a 15 year sentence for those found to be spreading "fake news" about the war on Friday.
Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube have been blocked in the country, further strangling people's access to independent news.
As tightly controlled as the media landscape in Russia is, thousands of people are hitting the streets each day to protest the war.
Over the weekend more than 4,000 people were arrested at demos across the country.
Russian police have widely been accused of mistreating those arrested, with one audio clip emerging of a woman being beaten in a prison cell by a male officer.
