YouTube blocks Ukrainian separatists’ channels
Mar 7, 2022
MOSCOW: YouTube on Friday blocked several channels with links to Ukrainian separatists as tensions soar between Moscow and the West over the possibility of Russia invading its ex-Soviet neighbour.
The breakaway regions bordering Russia have been locked in an armed conflict with the Ukrainian army after Russia seized Crimea in 2014.
Several channels run by separatist authorities in self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic were inaccessible.
The Lugansk People’s Republic said on its official news website that its channels had been blocked “without explanation”.
