"The Youtube accounts of the Federation Council and the Vmeste-RF [Together-Russia] TV channel were blocked, and all information was deleted without any possibility for recovery," the council said on Telegram.
Google's notification read that the accounts had been blocked "in accordance with the rules regarding export restrictions and the application of sanctions," as cited by the council.
The statement added that the council together with the broadcaster had actively developed domestic platforms to make their content available for users regardless of actions by unfriendly countries.
Commenting on the accounts' suspension, Google told RIA Novosti that the company is complying with all applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws. When the company finds an account violating its terms of service, it may take appropriate action, Google added.
