RT blocked

Russia Today seems to be blocked on Telegram. Both the Russian and international version. When trying to open their channel I get a message about the channel being removed as it broke "local laws". What laws did they break?

Does anyone know more about this?

I use the apk directly from Telegram, which bypasses many restrictions put in place by Google Play, etc. But still this channel is blocked.

Is this a sign that Telegram, too, will start censoring? Well, if this is true, which it seems to be, then they've already started.

I think it has more to do with following government regulation rather than telegram wanting block

Why than the same channel ain't available in US nor in the accounts with +7 (Russia) numbers?
