And this began after the accounts of some Russian TV channels were blocked on YouTube.

The court had previously ordered the American company to restore the pages of a number of Russian TV channels on the popular video hosting site.

It was noted that if the corporation fails to meet the requirements within a certain period of time, a fine will be assessed daily. The amount of the latter has no upper limit.

The penalty is growing every day. And the figure will continue to increase until the decision is executed.

According to the information that has appeared, the amount of demands has already reached the incredible mark of 2 untzillion RUB.

On Monday, October 28, as reported by RBC, the next court hearing took place.

According to the judge, the case under consideration was "a case with many, many zeros."
