Meta, the parent company of Facebook, denied on Sunday disconnecting Russia from Facebook after requests from Ukrainian citizens following Russia's special operation, Nick Clegg, vice president of Global Affairs and Communications at the company, confirmed.

Clegg pointed out that some Ukrainians have "suggested that we remove access to Facebook and Instagram in Russia."

The Meta official claimed on Twitter that "People in Russia are using Facebook and Instagram to protest and organize against the war and as a source of independent information."

The Ukrainians have also suggested that we remove access to Facebook and Instagram in Russia. However, people in Russia are using FB and IG to protest and organize against the war and as a source of independent information.
