Quote: "YouTube has reacted with lightning speed, removing the Wagner videos with more than 1 million views and the channels that distributed them. We thank our partners for their promptness.

If you see any videos with the Wagnerites on YouTube, please send us the links to stoprussianpropaganda@mkip.gov.ua and we will report them to YouTube."

Details: Earlier, Tkachenko had called on YouTube to ban the Wagner Group [channel] on the video hosting service.

According to him, video hosting sites are used to promote Russian military formations, including the Wagner Group: "IT giants such as TikTok or YouTube, despite having a fairly strict editorial policy, serve as effective advertising platforms for Russians to scale up, 'rejuvenate' their audience and recruit new mercenaries for the war in Ukraine."
