Ukraine-Kiev Gate, February 27, 2022 – Google has announced that it will ban Russian state media from selling commercials on the company’s platforms, according to an official of the Axios portal.
According to an official of the “Axios” portal, the company will suspend advertisements in Russian-funded media on its platforms regarding events in Ukraine.
