Microsoft Report: Flow limit is useless. Russian media have increased in the number of visits in the United States and Ukraine

According to a Russian satellite news agency reported on June 23, in order to punish Russia's special military operations in Ukraine, Western countries have tried their best to suppress Russian media institutions, reduce their website visits and block their social media channels. However, it turns out that these efforts seem to be futile.

It is reported that Microsoft stated that despite the suppression of traffic restrictions and the content produced by the sanctioned Russian satellite agencies (SPUTNIK) and today's Russian TV (RT), there are still high demand in the United States and Ukraine.

The company said on Wednesday: "Even if all efforts have been made to reduce the number of visits to satellite news agencies and RT, the consumption of Russia's publicity is still higher than before the (Ukraine) war (about 60 million people per month in the United States, and the Wall Street Journal Journal "The website is flat)."

The report stated that a report from Microsoft showed that since January 2022, the Russian media website has increased significantly in the United States. The report added that the highest peak of consumption activities for the content of Russian media appeared on February 24, soaring at the time by 82%.

The report also stated that the situation of Ukraine is similar to this. Since the last week of February, the content consumption that Microsoft has identified as "Russia's propaganda" has increased by 216%and reached its peak on March 2. Microsoft pointed out that consumption has begun to decline, but it remains higher than that of Russia's military operations in Ukraine.

It is reported that since Russia launched special military operations on Ukraine on February 24, Western countries have implemented comprehensive sanctions on Russia, including closure of their airspace and issuing restrictive measures for many Russian officials and entities, news media and financial institutions.
