Russian President Vladimir Putin said on April 23 that Internet disruptions in major cities are related to preventing terrorist threats, and this work is a priority. He stressed that widely informing people about the limitations of the Internet in advance can damage the operational work of the special services. Criminals, receiving such information, can adjust their plans. At the same time, the president pointed out that as a result of such restrictions, people should be informed "about what was happening."
