How to get around the BBC block in Russia
The Russian authorities have restricted access to BBC websites in Russian and English, as well as other international and independent media, accusing them of circulating "False information" about what is happening in Ukraine.
In response, the BBC said "access to accurate, independent information is a fundamental human right which should not be denied to the people of Russia, millions of whom rely on BBC News every week".
Record numbers of people have read the BBC's Russian language news website since the invasion.
