But Anonymous is also calling on the public to join in. To do so, the collective posts various initiatives on social networks.

One of the easiest to follow is to help inform the Russian public about the situation in Ukraine via Google Maps.

Anonymous suggests selecting a restaurant, a hotel or any business in Moscow from Google Maps and leaving a review.

All you have to do is give the establishment five stars then post a comment about what is happening in Ukraine.

The organisation even gives users a sample text, in Russian, to copy and paste into the review.

This translates as: “The food was great! Unfortunately, Putin spoiled our appetites by invading Ukraine.

Stand up to your dictator, stop killing innocent people! Your government is lying to you. Get up!”
