​DPR Head Denis Pushilin:

The leaderships of Russia and the Donetsk People's Republic are taking steps to ensure security and comprehensive protection of Donbass population. Today, the West and Ukraine are exerting unprecedented pressure on the Republic and posing threats to both physical and psychological security. The purpose of this pressure is to intimidate the inhabitants of the Donetsk People's Republic, to break their spirit.

We are sure that they will not succeed, because the Russian spirit cannot be broken, but it is also impossible to remain inactive in such a situation.

The inhuman propaganda of Ukraine and the West has long crossed all boundaries. There is a real persecution of Russians, the imposition of lies and disinformation. At the forefront of information technology in this regard is the Google search, which openly on the orders of its curators from the US government promotes terrorism and violence against all Russians, and especially the population of Donbass.

It didn't start yesterday. I think that this situation should no longer be put up with. We have decided to block Google on the DPR territory. This is what should be done in any society with criminals: they should be isolated from other people. If Google stops pursuing its criminal policy and returns to the mainstream of law, morality and common sense, there will be no obstacles for its work.
