YouTube suspends Russian YouTube accounts ...?

YouTube has announced that it is banning Russian advertisements.

YouTube has made a crucial decision in the wake of Russia's deadly attack on Ukraine. YouTube has announced that it is banning advertisements for Russian media in its territory.

A YouTube spokesman confirmed on Saturday that Russia-owned media outlets Russia Today- (RT) and other Russian YouTube accounts had been suspended.

YouTube announced the dismissal in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's permission for a full - scale attack on Ukraine on Thursday.

YouTube has released a report saying it is removing videos that violate YouTube's privacy policy against fraudulent practices already in Russia.

We are taking a number of steps in the wake of the extraordinary situation in Ukraine. The report states that due to the recent sanctions, many money-making channels on YouTube, including the Russian channel, have been banned.

But will this decision last forever in Russia? Or a temporary ban? It remains to be seen.
