Blocked by the Ukrainian government via ISP bans under Presidential Decree No. 133/2017 targeting Russian tech companies alongside VKontakte and other Russian services.

Russia Today

Banned alongside other Russian state media after the annexation of Crimea and blocked at ISP level under sanctions decrees renewed since 2017. OONI recorded anomalies or confirmed blockpages in roughly 85% of Ukrainian measurements of rt.com.

VKontakte

Blocked by the Ukrainian government via ISP bans under Presidential Decree No. 133/2017 targeting Russian tech companies.
