Moscow: Internet on mobile phones is constantly dropping - Kremlin responds 'for security reasons'

The Kremlin claims recent disruptions to mobile internet connections in Moscow and other major cities are for security reasons and compliant with legal regulations.

The Kremlin has asserted that the recent incidents involving interruptions in mobile internet connectivity in Moscow and other major cities are implemented for security purposes and in accordance with existing legislation. Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin, stated during a video conference with journalists that all connectivity disruptions and communication restrictions are carried out with strict adherence to current laws. He emphasized the security context surrounding these measures.

Peskov also acknowledged that the impact of these disruptions on businesses requires further analysis, suggesting that solutions would be proposed to address their concerns. Notably, during a recent teleconference, there were multiple instances where the connection with Kremlin's foreign policy advisor, Yuri Ushakov, was dropped, highlighting the disruptions firsthand as foreign relations were being discussed between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.

In recent weeks, the Kremlin has taken steps to block certain applications and services, further complicating communication channels in the region. These moves appear to align with a broader trend of increased governmental control over digital platforms, raising concerns among citizens and businesses regarding information accessibility and communication reliability in the face of growing security claims by the government.
