2025 internet restrictions in Russia

Internet restrictions in Russia have become commonplace since May 2025.[1] As of June 20, 2025, internet problems were observed in 34 regions of the country.[2] In 17 of them, mobile Internet was completely or partially shut down. In 15 regions, restrictions on access to foreign websites were recorded.[3] Users reported only being able to access Russian resources, while any foreign platforms using CDN services such as Cloudflare and Amazon stopped loading.[2]

As justification for the restrictions, Russian authorities cited the need to protect against drone control,[4] and ensuring the safety of citizens.[5]
