The Russian Federation is preparing to disconnect mobile internet in occupied Crimea
The Russian Federation plans to completely ban access to mobile internet in Crimea, and possibly in other temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing the Foreign Intelligence Service.
Recently, local residents received a message from the occupying authorities that mobile internet would be completely disconnected for security reasons and to prevent cyberattacks. 'In fact, this action is part of a strategy to integrate Crimea into the Russian system of control and censorship, as well as its isolation from the Ukrainian and world internet space,' the statement said.
The Foreign Intelligence Service records a significant number of cases of artificial internet access restrictions in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kherson regions. In total, in July 2025, 2099 cases of internet disconnection were recorded in Russia. 'This is an absolute Russian record,' the scouts report.
Conclusion: The Russian Federation is taking steps to completely disconnect mobile internet in occupied Crimea and other temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This may be part of a strategy to integrate Crimea into the Russian information system, leading to the isolation of these regions from Ukraine's internet space and a ban on access to independent media and information.
