Moscow fines Google for "false" reports about the Russian military
Russia has fined Google 21.1 billion rubles ($373 million) for failing to restrict access to "prohibited" material related to the war in Ukraine and other content.
Roskomnadzor, the country's communications regulator, said the information included "fake" reports that discredited the Russian military and leaflets urging people to protest.
It described the US tech giant as a "systematic" violator of its laws.
Google has not commented on the Russian decision yet.
The local Google subsidiary declared bankruptcy last month.
The move came after Russian authorities confiscated her local bank account, allowing her to recover the 7.2 billion rubles she had ordered the company to pay for similar reasons last year.
In recent years, Russia has intensified pressure on technology companies, accusing them of not properly overseeing their content and of interfering in the country's internal affairs.
