Putin Calls for 'Throttling' Microsoft, Zoom in Russia

Imagine Russia has some favorite online tools, like Microsoft and Zoom, that people use for work and chatting.

The leader of Russia, Mr. Putin, said that if these tools do things Russia doesn't like, they might get slowed down.

He wants Russia to create its own versions of these tools so they don't have to depend on others.

It is like making your own toys instead of always borrowing from your friends.

This is because he believes it is important for Russia to control its technology and protect its interests.
