The edition hosted several materials containing calls for war between the Crimean Tatars and Russia," the agency’s spokesman Vadim Ampelonsky has told TASS.
In this regard, at the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, the online resource was included in the register of banned information.
According to Ampelonsky, one of the materials was removed from the website following the claim of Roskomnadzor, but the rest are still there.
"Let's see until Monday, as we monitor the situation. If the information is deleted, nothing prevents us from restoring access," said the spokesman.
RBC Ukraine has, in turn, issued a notice on the limitation of access to its site in the Russian Federation.
