On February 26, 2022 local time, Meta announced several actions against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Meta has announced to Russian state media that it will ban advertising and monetization on its platform. In addition, it will continue to carry out strict fact checks on Russian state media. It seems that the Russian government has pressured this to 'stop fact checking', but Meta has refused to stop fact checking, which causes the Russian government to partially block Facebook. It became clear that it was.
Other security features to protect Ukrainian citizens include locking your Facebook profile to prevent others from viewing or downloading it, or temporarily hiding your Ukrainian Facebook account from your friends list. And announced that it will display security-related notifications on its Instagram account in Ukraine.
In addition, on February 27, local time, Meta said, 'At the request of the Ukrainian government, we have restricted access to several Ukrainian accounts, including those belonging to some Russian state media. We are also considering responding to requests from other governments to restrict media, 'he said, revealing that some accounts, including Russian state media accounts, have been restricted from being accessed in Ukraine.
Nick Clegg, the company's global vice president, has also announced on Twitter about Meta's measures to restrict access to some accounts in Ukraine.
We have been in contact with the Government of Ukraine, and at their request we have also restricted access to several accounts in Ukraine, including those belonging to some Russian state media organizations.

Mr. Craig admits that Ukraine has said 'I want you to completely eliminate Russian accounts from Facebook and Instagram', but 'It is possible that important expressions will not be seen at important times.' 'There is a negative view on blocking all Russian accounts.
Craig didn't give details about the accounts restricted in Ukraine, nor about the 'government seeking restrictions on Russian state media.' The overseas media, The Verge, has also contacted Meta, but has not received a response at the time of writing the article.
