The move follows a decision by the European Union to ban the channels following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

YouTube has now said it blocking the outlets across Europe — including the U.K. — following Russia’s invasion of Europe. “Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we’re blocking YouTube channels connected to RT and Sputnik across Europe, effective immediately,” Google Europe said in a statement posted on Twitter. “It’ll take time for our systems to fully ramp up. Our teams continue to monitor the situation around the clock to take swift action.
