The YouTube video platform is unavailable in Russia, thousands of users reported on August 8.
Most of the user complaints were recorded from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg published by the Downdetector site.

In early July, YouTube blocked the channels of several Russian singers and artists because of their support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
