Rather than believe something nefarious, I believe that is just Ukraine restricting possible leaks about its counteroffensive, which may or may not have begun.
Yeah The Intercept has had a curious history of saying things that benefit Russian foreign policy for a very long time now. Of course limiting access to the front lines of an active war is reasonable, especially when the environment and population are incredibly fluid. (This isn’t America vs the Viet Cong in 1970, this is people’s nephews vs their uncles and everyone’s got a smart phone in their pocket.)
