Anyone who has been banned from @Twitch for violating international sanctions will be unbanned in 3 days
Now I get why this platform isn't turning a profit Imagine paying to advertise your brand, only to have your ad appear on a channel promoting military drones for Russia
If this is really happening, we're in for something crazy.
The list of videos featuring "Alabuga" is practically endless, and there are tons of channels with 1M+ subscribers or even more
It appears that YouTube has also begun blocking channels for advertising “Alabuga”
The channels nikzz_Lou and ASOKA posted videos containing pre-roll ads promoting “Alabuga,” as well as direct links to it in the description.
Twitch has also banned the user lagoda1337, who has been promoting “Alabuga” over the past few months but currently has no active links or banners
I am HAPPY to see such a clear response to this violation of international sanctions, it gives me hope that the situation can change
Finally, the last and most famous streamer akyuliych (1.1M followers) who participated in the “Alabuga” CS2 tournament has been banned!
Let’s hope that @Twitch doesn’t just forgive them all and forget how many streamers on their platform have violated international sanctions
That’s CRAZY! Huge Russian streamers are placing clickable banners right below the player on @Twitch urging viewers to join “Alabuga” and become part of the Russian military machine

“Alabuga,” an entity under sanctions imposed by the US, EU, and UK due to its direct involvement in the production of military drones, is hosting and sponsoring an esports tournament on @Twitch, while the platform ignores violations and responds that no rules were broken
Hi @FoxNews — small clarification.
We appreciate that international media such as FOX News highlight the effective work of interceptor drones. The footage shown in this segment features STING — a Ukrainian interceptor drone developed by engineers at Wild Hornets and used by Ukrainian air defense units to destroy Shahed-type drones.
This result is the outcome of a long and difficult path taken by Wild Hornets engineers together with Ukrainian soldiers, and we would be grateful if these achievements remained properly credited.
We also deeply appreciate all the support we receive and are very grateful for the trust people place in our work.
You can see more interception footage and feedback from Ukrainian soldiers on our page.
