He also announced that Google may have to give 20% of its annual revenue in Russia to the government.
Russia’s Federal Information Technologies and Mass Media Inspection Service said in its statements that YouTube has become one of the key platforms in the field of information about the war. Google has not yet made a statement on the matter.
