Reasons and reactions of users
No official statements have yet been received from mobile operators. The reasons for the large-scale disruptions remain unknown, which is causing additional concern among residents of Moscow and St Petersburg.
On social media, users are actively discussing the situation, sharing their experiences and looking for alternative ways to communicate. The lack of access even to services from the «white lists» indicates the depth of the problem and its possible systemic nature.
Why it matters
Mass mobile internet and communication interruptions in Russia's largest cities can have serious consequences for the economy, security and everyday life of citizens. In today's world, stable access to online services is critical for businesses, government agencies and ordinary people.
