(Worthy News) – Russia blocked access to over a dozen news sites, including two Israeli sites, Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor announced Wednesday.
Channel 9 and Vesty were blocked, both of which are Israeli-owned Russian-language news sites. Vesty is owned by the Yedioth Ahatonot news company.
The award-winning investigative news site Bellingcat was also blocked.
The move is the latest in a series of crackdown measures on free speech in Russia since the invasion of Ukraine three weeks ago. [ Source: Arutz Sheva (Read More…) ]
