Russia Tightens Internet Control

Key information indicates Russia is tightening its grip on Crimea by implementing long-term mobile internet restrictions, according to Ukraine's Center for National Resistance (CNR).
The occupation head, Serhiy Aksyonov, says these measures are necessary for security during the ongoing 'special military operation'.
The CNR warns these restrictions create a governance model without clear criteria or public explanations, which could worsen social and economic conditions.
