This was reported by the BBC Russian Service, citing IT expert Mikhail Klimarev.
Google’s monitoring service now shows YouTube traffic in Russia at 8.5 points, down from 40 previously.
"This means it’s now at about 20% of the usual traffic, not just a temporary issue but a real block. We can confirm that YouTube is blocked in Russia," Klimarev said.
