MOSCOW, July 4 Singer Shaman (Yaroslav Dronov) reported that his YouTube channel was blocked, citing the fact that he is Russian.
Earlier, a message appeared on the European Commission website that Shaman had been subject to new EU sanctions for supporting actions that allegedly «undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.»
«My YouTube channel was blocked because I AM RUSSIAN,» the artist wrote on his Telegram channel.
The channels of Grigory Leps, Oleg Gazmanov, Yulia Chicherina and Vyacheslav Manucharov have also been blocked on the video hosting platform, a correspondent found out.
«This account has been blocked for violating YouTube's Terms of Use,» the message on the video hosting platform says.
Information has begun to appear on social networks that the channel of the Lyube group has also been blocked, but it continues to function at the moment.
