Russian authorities have imposed widespread and unpredictable mobile internet blackouts across multiple regions, including Krasnoyarsk, the Urals, and Siberia, citing the need to counter Ukrainian drone attacks that allegedly use mobile networks for navigation.

The situation highlights the growing tension between wartime security measures and the rights of ordinary Russians to access information and communication.
