However, sources claim that this may happen “today”.
Russia, which after the invasion of Ukraine began to block the world's leading social networks, may block access to YouTube. This was reported by Russian state media, citing a source close to Roskomnadzor. According to him, this could happen by the end of next week.
The source also noted that this could happen “today.” He added that such a decision was expected last week, but then decided to block Instagram, which postponed the decision on YouTube.

It will be recalled that the Prosecutor General's Office demanded that Roskomnadzor block the Instagram social network in the territory of the aggressor country , as “publications with calls to commit violent acts against Russian citizens, including servicemen, are distributed on this network.” Instagram blocking in Russia started on March 14.
Facebook has been blocked in the country since March 4 for “applying censorship to the Russian media.”
