Russia Blocks Facebook and Twitter – level 1
10-03-2022 15:00
The Russian government blocks Facebook and Twitter on Friday. It means that Russian people can’t use this social media.
Russian officials say that Facebook is full of false information about the war in Ukraine. The information by the Russian state media is correct. Facebook doesn’t agree with Russia. The government wants to give Russian people only some information.
Russia blocks Facebook and other websites. Russian people don’t have information from Western websites.
The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyi speaks to the Russian people on Facebook. Now, he cannot. The Russian people don’t know what really happens in Ukraine.
Difficult words: block (to stop something), false (something that isn’t true), state media (when a government controls TV, radio, or news agencies).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
