Digital Sky Technologies raised its stake in Facebook to 5 percent, Kommersant reported, citing an unidentified person at an investment fund close to Facebook.
Yury Milner, chief executive of Digital Sky Technologies, also known as DST, declined to comment to the newspaper. Facebook press officials didn’t reply to Kommersant’s request for comment. DST has spent at least $400 million on investment in Facebook this year, the newspaper said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
