Wow I don’t even live in Russia and I think it’s very disrespectful calling my country Russian territory (btw I’m from Georgia a country occupied by Russia)

To be honest, they should actually ban both youtube and google in Russia. I know some people will just use VPN but at least its something. I know a lot of people in Russia don't support the war but the more sanctions and the more resources such as websites we take away from them, the more the central public will rethink the war was a good idea, and the more Putin might rethink the war was a good idea and the faster this pointless war will end. This might sound harsh, but the more Russia suffers, the faster Ukraine will not have to suffer. At the end of the day, Putin won't suffer at all unless Ukraine managed to push the fight to Russia or a civil war happens. Sanctions and removing things like Google can help start those things to happen. Russia might call itself a democracy, but really Putin uses his power to change things so he will always be in power. So we can't just wait for a new leader with a good heart to come in and stop the war. If I was living in Ukraine and running for my life, I wouldn't be happy knowing the Russians are living good lives with google and food and stuff like that while I'm fighting for my life because of the Russians. At the end of the day, all of the people of Ukraine didn't support the war but they were forced into it losing their homes and families. Russians losing Google and Youtube is nothing compared to what the Ukrainians lost
