The Internet will start working stably in Russia after the need to restrict it for security reasons disappears. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov at a briefing for journalists.
The Kremlin representative agreed that the restrictions cause certain inconveniences.
After the need to take this measure disappears, the work will be fully restored and normalized.
One of the journalists clarified whether this throws Russians back into the past. Peskov answered in the negative.
No, this is not a path to the past. Most of our citizens understand the expediency and necessity of these measures.
Peskov recalled that Internet companies must comply with applicable laws. In case of violations, "measures are taken" against them. He concluded that similar work is being carried out in other countries as well.
Mobile Internet outages began in Russia in May 2025. The situation deteriorated significantly in the spring of 2026, especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg and other major cities of the country.
