In addition to the Crimean project “Sevastopol Correspondent,” access within Ukraine has been blocked to:

•  the channels of military correspondentAlexander Sladkov and Z-blogger Sergey Kolyasnikov (Zergulio);
• channels of Russian performers Nadezhda Babkina, Yulia Savicheva, Viktoria Daineko, Masha Weber, and the band Uma2rman;
• propaganda resources such as “Russian Collages” and others;
• foreign-language channels of the Russian animated series “Masha and the Bear.”

The Center for Countering Disinformation noted that it continues its systematic efforts to cleanse Ukraine’s information space of pockets of Russian influence.
