Since early March 2026, Russia has imposed widespread mobile internet disruptions in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Leningrad region, restricting access to government-approved websites. These measures follow drone threat warnings and reflect ongoing wartime controls. Telecom operators report external orders to limit connectivity, with daily restrictions now affecting most regions nationwide.
Russia has introduced regional fuel rationing and is weighing a total ban on diesel exports after Ukrainian drone strikes have damaged refineries and supply lines. Officials have shortened maintenance, set up an industry task force and are considering fuel imports and subsidies to stabilise supplies as prices and local restrictions rise (24 Jun 2026).
