War With Ukraine: YouTube Blocks Russian Channels RT, Sputnik

Moscow: Russia continues to be hit by sanctions and restrictions from different quarters for invading Ukraine and showing no sign of ceasefire after six days of continuous aggression and shelling.

In the latest decision YouTube has blocked Russian channels RT and Sputnik in Europe taking into account the ongoing war in Ukraine.

“We are blocking the YouTube channels of RT and Sputnik in the whole of Europe with immediate effect. Our systems need a little time before being fully operational,” YouTube said in an email to AFP.

Facebook took a similar decision a day earlier, blocking content published by RT and Sputnik in the European Union.

RT and Sputnik are considered to be mouthpieces of President Vladimir Putin’s Russian government.

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen announced two days ago that all its countries have been directed not to broadcast in the bloc for spreading lies to ‘justify Putin’s war’.
