The decision was made by the administration of the video hosting.

YouTube has removed the channels of Lukashenka's news agency BelTA, as well as pro-government TV channels ONT and STV.

"YouTube seems to have taken the last steps towards being recognized as an 'extremist site' and completely blocked in Belarus. Almost all of Belarus' main state YouTube channels (BelTA, ONT, STV) have been removed from YouTube!" - stated the Belteleradiocompany.

BelTA reported that the channels were removed on April 3 "by the administration of the video hosting site" due to sanctions.
