The decrease in traffic will not affect mobile users, Khinshtein said, adding that making YouTube run slower was "a forced step not directed at Russian users" but at YouTube management "which believes that it can violate and ignore [Russian] legislation".
"The fate of YouTube in Russia depends solely on YouTube itself," Khinstein said, before warning the company that unless it began complying with Russian law, "nothing good awaits it here".
Russoids keep getting cucked by their government: Russia to slow YouTube download speed by 70%, lawmaker says.

At first they lied that it's a technical issue, but now they say that it's a punishment for "not complying with Russian law".
The real reason is most likely that they want to make it annoying to use, because it's less dramatic than outright blocking it. Less savvy users will think that YouTube is just broken and won't even consider using a VPN to work around the problem.
