It remains unclear how exactly the Russian authorities managed to shut off Internet access in Armyansk and the surrounding area, whether Krymtelekom or other telecoms were involved in the decision, and whether the government is still actively disabling the Internet in this region. Update: Senator Olga Kovitidi later claimed that Dozhd television took her comments out of context, clarifying that Internet outages in northern Crimea are the result of technical maintenance to expand network capacity to meet growing consumer demand.
Пока неясно, как именно российским властям удалось отключить доступ к интернету в Армянске и окрестных районах, участвовали ли в принятии решения «Крымтелеком» или другие операторы и продолжает ли правительство активно препятствовать работе интернета в этом регионе.
