"It is a specifically drafted up sum, in fact, I cannot even pronounce this number, but rather it is filled with symbolism. Actually, these requirements, they just demonstrate the essence of the claim of our channels to Google. Google should not limit the actions of our broadcasters on its platforms, and Google is doing this," Peskov told reporters, answering a question about the amount of claims of Russian channels to Google.
This is an opportunity for Google management to pay attention to this and correct the situation, the spokesman said.
