According to information from DW, the WhatsApp domain has been removed from the records of the Russian National Domain Name System (NSDI), which operates under the law on the "sovereign Runet." This means that users in Russia can no longer obtain IP addresses to access the messenger, and the only way to use it remains through a VPN.
On February 10, the YouTube domain also disappeared from the DNS servers of Roskomnadzor, depriving Russians of the ability to access this service without using a VPN.
