MOSCOW, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday demanded
an explanation from Apple  AAPL.O  after applications operated
by the Russian tech firm VK  VKCOq.L  were removed from the U.S.
firm's App Store.
    The communications regulator Roskomnadzor in a statement
said the restrictions were discriminatory and violated Russian
internet users' right to free information and communications. 
    VK operates the Russian social media platform VKontakte,
akin to Facebook.
