Russia’s communications regulator has blocked Google News accusing it of publishing fake material about the conflict in Ukraine

Google confirmed in a statement that some people are “having difficulty accessing the Google News app and website in Russia and that this is not due to any technical issues” on the company’s end.

Google says they’ve “worked hard to keep information services like News accessible to people in Russia for as long as possible”.

The Russian regulator, Roskomnadzor made the move in response to a request from the office of Russia’s prosecutor general.

The regulator accused American online news resources for reporting inauthentic and publicy important information about the course of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine.

Current laws forbid media outlets from reporting on events that could discredit the Russian military.
