In the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhia region, the Russian administration may completely shut down the Internet to tighten control over the population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported<\/a> by activists of the “Resistance” movement.<\/p>\n

According to them, the so-called “governor” Yevgeny Balytsky appealed to Russian structures with a request to allow a complete network blockade in the region. Initially, the restrictions were planned to be introduced by March 16, but this failed to happen.<\/p>\n

“The Internet shutdown is considered a temporary measure within the framework of the FSB’s so-called ‘special operations,'” the activists note.<\/p>\n

The reasons for the delay have not been officially explained, most likely technical problems. However, it is possible that such attempts will be repeated in the near future.<\/p>\n

It is noted that the occupation authorities do not trust the local residents and consider them pro-Ukrainian.<\/p>\n

In fact, this is another attempt to isolate the occupied territories from information and limit communication with the territory controlled by Ukraine.<\/p>\n

By the way, in Russia, large-scale disruptions in the Telegram messenger<\/a> have begun, due to which users cannot send messages and upload photos and videos. In just a few days, thousands of complaints about the service’s operation have been recorded in different regions of the country.<\/p>\n
