“We believe that the attack on our Internet resources is part of the “Crushing Sword” information campaign unleashed by Western and Ukrainian intelligence services against our republics,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
According to Basurin, the purpose of such actions is an information blockade of the republics so that they cannot promptly convey to the world community information about “the preparation of the Kiev regime for aggression in the Donbass.”
Earlier, the Minister of Information of the DPR, Igor Antipov, said that the YouTube administration had blocked the channels of the Ministry of Information and the People's Militia Department of the republic.
On February 4, it also became known that the YouTube administration removed the channel of the Luhansk Information Center without explanation.
