Russian regulator blocks Google News, cites Ukraine conflict - The Jerusalem Post

Russia's communications regulator has blocked the news aggregator service of Alphabet Inc's GOOGL.O Google, accusing it of allowing access to what it calls fake material about the country's military operation in Ukraine, Interfax news agency said on Wednesday.

"We’ve confirmed 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 our end," Google said in statement.
