The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy will hold talks with YouTube on the problem of reducing views of Ukrainian media materials about the war on the video hosting due to changes in algorithms.

"There will be a second series of negotiations with YouTube in a few days. The fact is that from some point they changed their own algorithms and materials of the Ukrainian media: videos that relate to the war lose the number of views, since there is a mark of ’18 plus,’" Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko said on the air of the national telethon on Tuesday.

According to him, the ministry will try to convince the video hosting that "a country that is at war cannot but talk about the war."

As reported, on April 21, YouTube, in response to an appeal from the Ministry of Culture, deleted videos about the Wagner PMC from more than 1 million views and the channels that distributed them.
