#Russia-Ukraine situation#【Russia-Ukraine fierce battle has not been won, Google and other technology giants announced restrictions on Russian media】
On February 26, local time, the New York Times reported that Russia and Ukraine fought fiercely in the streets of Kiev and other cities on Saturday, and the Ukrainian army stubbornly resisted, and the Russian army advanced very slowly. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said Ukrainian fighters "withstood and successfully repelled the enemy's attack." Earlier, U.S. Defense Department officials said they had not seen Russian control of any ukrainian cities.
On the same day, Google's YouTube said it would suspend sales ads on "Russia Today" (RT) and other Russian state-owned media, and would also restrict recommendations for content published by these media.
Previously, other tech companies, including Meta (formerly Facebook) and Twitter, took similar action to prevent Russian state media from generating advertising revenue on social media. Meta said that Russia had previously asked Meta to stop fact-checking russian media posts, but Meta had refused. Twitter said it was restricting services to some Russians.
