This was reported by Yandex to the Russian Interfax.

Yandex confirmed information about work on this update. “We are doing everything possible to ensure that users have access to Yandex and other sites,” the company said.

The browser update is available to Ukrainian users in the Google Play app store.

Please note that at the moment, Ukrainian users of the Yandex.Browser mobile application can access prohibited Russian sites.

Recall as PolitNavigator previously reported, The Ukrainian presidential administration admitted that Russian social networks cannot be banned 100%, but they are happy and call it a great success that because of the ban, Russian media have lost a significant part of their Ukrainian audience.
