There will be no mobile internet in Moscow and St. Petersburg for at least four days. All because of Putin's fears of Ukrainian drones

The Russian mobile operator Beeline sent its subscribers a notification regarding possible restrictions not only on mobile Internet, but also on communications and SMS in Moscow for the period from May 5 to 9.
Radio Liberty writes about this, citing a number of Russian media outlets.
In the event of such service interruptions, the operator recommended that subscribers use Wi-Fi to access the Internet and enable the VoLTE function for calls.
Similar messages were received by MTS subscribers, including not only residents of Moscow, but also St. Petersburg.
The BBC Russian service also reported on upcoming communication restrictions in major Russian cities on April 29.
As you know, the so-called «Victory Day» parade is traditionally scheduled for May 9 in the Russian capital, but this year it will be held in a «truncated» form — without military equipment and marching troops. The Russian authorities took this step because of the attacks by Ukrainian drones.
It is also known that anti-drone nets were stretched in some places on Red Square in Moscow, and machine gunners were also placed on the Kremlin towers, which, in case of need, would help repel attacks by Ukrainian drones.
