[Kremlin Press Conference: Most Russians Understand Internet Restrictions Are Temporary Measures]

On April 14, 2026, Moscow time, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Presidential Executive Office and Kremlin Spokesperson, responded to questions from the Kremlin press corps:

There are currently security concerns that necessitate certain measures. These measures are being implemented, and of course, our majority of compatriots understand these measures as temporary and necessary. Clearly, internet restrictions have caused inconvenience for many citizens, but this is precisely such a period. Once the need for these measures disappears, the internet will be fully restored and normalized.
