Russia’s authorities are not planning to block Western social networks, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his Q&A session, known as the Direct Line, on Wednesday, Trend reports with reference to TASS.

"No, we don’t have such plans. We are not planning to block anyone. We are planning to work with them," the president said.

However, according to Putin, Western social networks do not always comply with the demands of the Russian authorities.

"They tell us to go elsewhere, when they do not honor our requirements and Russian laws. And when they say to us: you know, we will work here and if you don’t like something we will give you beads and you should enjoy what we gave to you and what is shining brightly. This is disrespectful. If you work in our country, you earn decent money and you should abide by our laws," Putin stated.
