It said the news aggregator service was allowing access to what it called fake material about the invasion. "The American online news resource in question provided access to numerous publications and materials containing inauthentic and publicly important information about the course of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine," Interfax quoted the regulator as saying."We've confirmed that some people are having difficulty accessing the Google News app and website in Russia and that this is not due to any technical issues on our end," they said.
"We've worked hard to keep information services like News accessible to people in Russia for as long as possible."
