YouTube blocked the channel of the Union State
On the night of April 27, YouTube blocked the channel of the so-called Union State of Russia and Belarus BelRos TV. It broadcast various pro-Russian propaganda programs. The “journalists” themselves are convinced that the reason for the blocking was a film in which they showed a video prepared by Russian propagandists showing Ukrainian “Nazis” supposedly executing Russian soldiers.
YouTube issued 2 warnings, so we couldn't download videos, add posts to the Community tab, or stream live. After that, the video hosting deleted our channel forever! – said the staff of the TV channel.
In addition, the filmmakers called the regime of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky bloody. At the same time, they issued a powerful quote from his appeal about punishing Russians for atrocities against their own.
The propagandists also justified the war that Russia started against Ukraine, and the responsibility for the bombing of peaceful cities was traditionally transferred to Ukrainian defenders.
So-called journalists now accuse YouTube of violating their rights and complain about the information war against Russia. In turn, they call their video a verdict for the channel.
Note! There were a little more than 12 thousand subscribers on the BelRos TV channel. After blocking, propagandists created a new one. Now only 17 people are watching it.
