What you need to know Russia has blocked Facebook and Twitter. The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues and Russia is trying to control information. Russia has blocked two huge social networks as the invasion of Ukraine continues. Russia has blocked both Twitter and Facebook as the country further tries to control the information moving both into and out of it. As Putin's Russia continued its assault on Ukraine Facebook was the first to go. Russian communications agency Roskomnadzor announced that it was blocking the social network and cited 26 instances of "discrimination against Russian media and information resources by Facebook" since October 2020 as the reason. In response, Facebook's Nick Clegg tweeted to say that the move would impact Russian users while the company worked to get services back online.
