Finland's largest daily newspaper is fighting back against Russia's media restrictions by hiding news about the war in Ukraine in a secret room within a video game.

Helsingin Sanomat's editor-in-chief Antero Mukka said the paper had to get creative in trying to breach the restrictions and decided to conceal articles in the shooter game Counter-Strike, which is popular among young Russian men.

Russia has cracked down on independent journalism by banning free reporting and denying Russians access to media content produced abroad since Moscow launched what it calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.

"As we have been widely concerned about the press freedom situation and freedom of speech in Russia, we decided that maybe it's possible to find some new channels to provide Russian audience with some reliable, independent journalism for example about the situations in Ukraine," Mr Mukka told Reuters news agency.
