YouTube has blocked pro-russian artists subject to sanctions within Ukraine

This was reported by the Centre for Countering Disinformation.

“All the individuals listed are actively involved in the Kremlin’s propaganda efforts, justify the war and use their media platforms to spread hostile narratives,” the statement reads.

The following cultural and showbiz figures have had their platforms banned:

singer Nikolai Baskov;

singer Lolita Milyavskaya;

singer Stas Mikhailov;

singer and TV presenter Olga Buzova;

singer Ani Lorak;

singer Anna Sedokova;

singer Oleksandr Rosenbaum.

It should be recalled that in 2022, singers with Ukrainian citizenship – Anna Sedokova, Regina Todorenko, Taisiya Povaliy and Ani Lorak – were included on the sanctions list of the National Security and Defence Council. In total, the list comprises over 3,600 individuals and legal entities. The imposition of sanctions entails the confiscation of any assets in Ukraine.
