> Yandex Search engine hides the pictures of Bucha and Irpin massacre as well as Kharkiv and Mariupol destruction

That's just not true, try it yourself. It just does not display the latest images by default (though it's easily turned on in the filter settings), and that's why on the very day the news appeared on the Internet, people went crazy about that Yandex somehow "hides the truth"...

> Yandex News service ignores the genocide currently happening in Ukraine

That is actually required by the Russian regulations on news aggregator services. Yeah, those regulations are unfair and oppressive, but it's the local law to which Yandex must comply. And by the way, they're going to get rid of that toxic asset: https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/28/yandex-sells-news-zen-vk

(I suppose they can't just shut it down because the government threatens to nationalize Yandex in response)

> Yandex supports the Russian Terrorist regime

Can you please show any public statement from Yandex from which one could derive that?
