YouTube blocks 12 channels spreading Kremlin narratives in Ukraine – CCD
YouTube has blocked 12 channels that spread Kremlin narratives and support the Russian army on Ukrainian territory.
Ukrainian authorities have reported the blocking of 12 YouTube channels that disseminate Kremlin narratives and support the Russian military presence in Ukraine. These channels belong to individuals subject to sanctions imposed by Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), the CCD Center for Countering Disinformation has announced on Telegram.
The blocked resources include channels representing Russian actors who support the war and President Putin, channels operated by organizations that aid the Russian army, so-called Z-bloggers, Russian journalists who promote Kremlin propaganda, and a Russian lawmaker-turned-journalist.
Among the channels that have been taken down are those of Russian actor Vitaliy Gogunsky, the Blizkiye Lyudi foundation, which collects funds for the Russian military, Russian journalist Dmytro Borysenko, a sanctioned former Ukrainian lawmaker, war correspondent Volodymyr Romanov, Russian writer and propagandist German Sadulayev, and the propaganda channel Voyenny Rasklad, among others.
These channels promote narratives that align with the Kremlin's interests, justify the war, and endorse Kremlin policies. The CCD will persist in its efforts to dismantle the pages of sanctioned individuals and hubs of hostile propaganda on the digital platform.
