  • Kremlin says Internet outages to last as long as to ensure safety

Mobile internet outages in Russia will last as long as necessary to ensure citizens' safety, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.  Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing in Moscow that citizens can have no doubt that the main priority is ensuring security and everything is in strict accordance with current legislation.

He said the problems the restrictions cause for businesses are a different matter, adding that must definitely become a topic for discussion in the relevant agencies in order to minimize losses.
