The news aggregator is the latest service to go down in the country.
Google News is the most recent major service to be restricted in Russia. According to Reuters, the country’s telecom regulator Roskomnadzor has blocked Google News, citing a report from state media outlet Interfax.
According to Interfax, the regulator said it was blocking the news service because it “provided access to numerous publications and materials containing inauthentic and publicly important information about the course of the special military operation on Ukrainian territory.”
