YouTube and Facebook on Friday blocked several accounts with<\/a> links to Ukrainian separatists as tensions soar between Moscow and the West over the possibility of Russia invading its ex-Soviet neighbour, separatists said.<\/p>\n

The breakaway regions bordering Russia have been locked in an armed conflict with the Ukrainian army after Russia seized Crimea in 2014.<\/p>\n

Several channels run by separatist authorities in self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic were inaccessible.<\/p>\n

The Lugansk People’s Republic said on its official news website that its channels had been blocked “without explanation”.<\/p>\n

The channel of the Lugansk information centre was inaccessible on Friday and a service message said it “has been terminated for violating YouTube’s community<\/a> guidelines”.<\/p>\n

Several other separatist channels carried the same message, including those belonging to the ministry of information and the “people’s militia” of the Donetsk stronghold.<\/p>\n

Separately, Facebook blocked the page of the Lugansk “people’s militia”, a representative of the self-proclaimed republic told Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment from the Silicon Valley giants.<\/p>\n

Ukraine and its Western allies accuse Russia of supporting<\/a> the separatists by sending arms and troops across the border. Moscow has denied the claims.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Western leaders have sounded the alarm over a potential Russian invasion as Moscow has deployed more than 100,000 troops to the border with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Moscow insists it has no plans to invade Ukraine but<\/a> has at the same time laid down a series of security demands — including a ban on Ukraine joining NATO — in exchange for de-escalation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
