"Russia blocked The Moscow Times' Russian-language service on Friday after it published what authorities call a false report on riot police officers refusing to fight in Ukraine.

The Moscow Times' English-language edition is not affected by the block. MT Russian remains accessible abroad and while using a VPN.

Roskomnadzor’s database mentions the order along with MT Russian's April 4 article on riot police officers refusing to fight in Ukraine and returning to Russia.

The prosecutor’s office has not yet notified The Moscow Times of its decision.

A tracking tool first detected access disruptions to the domain name themoscowtimes.com/ru from within Russia earlier in the day...."
