YouTube has blocked 16 Russian and pro-Russian channels in Ukraine that were spreading propaganda in support of the war. Among those restricted was the Crimean propaganda channel “Sevastopol Correspondent.”
This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.
According to the agency, the restrictions target resources run by Russian propagandists, Z-bloggers, and artists who publicly support Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine.

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.
"Sevastopol Correspondent" is a regional Russian news agency and online publication operating in the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol. The media outlet is officially registered with Russia’s Roskomnadzor.
In terms of content, the outlet specializes in covering local city news, housing and utilities issues, city events, and the activities of the occupation administration. At the same time, the outlet systematically functions as a tool of information influence, spreading Kremlin narratives, justifying Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, and covering the war from the perspective of Russian state propaganda.
