Russia blocks The Moscow Times' Russian language website

[April 15, 2022]  LONDON (Reuters) - Russia's communications watchdog has blocked access to the Russian language website of The Moscow Times, a newspaper that has covered Russia for three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

The Moscow Times said Russian internet providers had already started to block its Russian-language site. It published a notice from Russia's communications watchdog which said its site was now blocked.

Russia's communications watchdog did not immediately respond to a request for comment. J
