Russia’s media regulator on Wednesday blocked Google’s news aggregator service, accusing it of providing access to materials containing “unreliable” information about the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

Roskomnadzor, the communications regulator, said it had acted on a request from the office of Russia’s prosecutor general. It said access to the online resource news.google.com has been blocked.
