These are phishing emails . Not from Youtube . ( at least the first one with @mail.ru ) .
Was the second one also coming from @mail.ru ? ( see details on the email ) .
Anyhow , enable two step verification to secure your account ( and don't provide that information with anyone ) .

لقد أدخلت قناتي وحصلت على رسالة تفيد بأنه يجب علي إنشاء قناة جديدة
كما لو أنني اشتركت في YouTube لأول مرة ، وافقت على إنشاء قناة جديدة وفوجئت بأن قناتي الأصلية لم تعد موجودة.
من فضلك ساعدنى
