YouTube has blocked information channels in the Moscow-backed breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine, Russian media have reported. It comes amid a U.S. warning of a Russian-led plan to fabricate a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine using a faked video campaign.

Russian media said the video sharing giant had blocked the accounts of groups in the self-proclaimed Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics (LPR and DPR) in the Donbass region, the scene of fighting since 2014.

Lugansk Information Center editor Sergey Meshkovoy, told RIA Novosti on Friday that his channel was deleted "without any notifications or warnings," saying "it was not clear why."

Journalists from LPR's State TV and Radio Broadcasting Company (GTRK) said in a statement that its account, as well as those of the People's Militia of the LPR, the People's Militia of the DPR, and the DPR's Ministry of Information, had been blocked "without warning."
