Finland is considering cutting internet routes for Russia. This could lead to temporary disruptions in access to some foreign websites, such as Google, GitHub, and Apple. Similar measures have already been applied in Russia, when these resources were inaccessible without VPN. In such cases, users are forced to use special tools to bypass restrictions, which are commonly called 'Cheburnet'.
However, it is important to understand that a complete shutdown is unlikely. Russian authorities and telecom operators have backup channels and technical solutions to ensure access to the global network. Moreover, Russia already has 'Cheburnet' of services that remain accessible even during restrictions. For example, Gosuslugi, Yandex services, marketplaces, and bank websites.
There are no official statements yet about specific timing and scale of possible shutdowns. But if it happens, users may face temporary difficulties accessing some foreign resources. In such situations, it is recommended to use official apps and services, which usually work more stable.
We will monitor the situation and report new details.
