- Russia-Ukraine war: latest updates
YouTube has restored the account of a Chinese national in Odessa who was covering the atrocities in Ukraine, a week after suspending when it received a report that it contained “suspected violence”.
Wang Jixian, whose daily Mandarin vlogs detailing his life in the Ukrainian city made him an internet sensation, was temporarily suspended on Thursday last week. In his video immediately before the suspension, his video showed Chinese translations of a voice recording of Ukrainians speaking about atrocities committed by Russian soldiers.
