Ministry of Digital Development: Mobile internet and access to the "white list" will be restricted in Moscow on May 9.
In Moscow on Victory Day, May 9, mobile internet and SMS services will be restricted, as well as access to the "white list" of websites. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development. The restrictions on May 9 are necessary to ensure the safety of the festive events. However, home internet and Wi-Fi networks will continue to operate as usual. The agency clarified that there will be no restrictions on May 7-8. In case of immediate security threats, operational response measures may be implemented, they added. Earlier, the "big four" operators and Sberbank informed Moscow residents about possible communication disruptions from May 5 to May 9. Similar measures were not ruled out by the authorities of Tatarstan. The Vice Prime Minister of the Republic, Leila Fazleeva, noted that safety on May 9 is more important than possible communication restrictions — the measures are forced. It is worth recalling that in 2025, during the Victory Day celebrations in Kazan, warnings were also issued about possible communication problems. At that time, the authorities explained that disruptions could be related to network overload due to the large number of people. It was emphasized that no direct restrictions were imposed by the authorities.
