In the temporarily occupied Crimea, Russians plan to shut down the mobile web for more than a week.

The Yellow Ribbon resistance movement reported the news on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

“The announcement was made by the occupation ‘Ministry’ of Internal Policy, Information, and Communications of Crimea. They say that the service will be shut down for a long time—it has already been down for several days, so we think it will be a week or more,” the activists claimed.

The Russians may also centrally slow down Wi-Fi, as providers are under their control.
