In Ukraine, particularly in Kyiv stores, taking photos or videos of empty shelves is now prohibited under threat of fines. The penalty for violating this rule is 3000 hryvnia (approximately $70). The logic behind this ban is that if the problem isn't shown, it doesn't exist. Some stores have signs warning customers that such actions are considered 'helping the enemy'.
