Russia has redirected Internet traffic in the occupied Kherson region through its communications infrastructure. This was reported by Reuters, citing a statement by the British organization NetBlocks.
NetBlocks, which informs that it recorded an almost complete Internet outage in the Kherson region on Saturday by various Ukrainian providers. The connection was restored after a few hours, but indicators indicated that traffic was now moving through Russia.
"The connection on the network is going through Russian, not Ukrainian Internet infrastructure, so is likely subject to Russian regulation, surveillance and censorship," NetBlocks notes.
The British Defense Ministry believes that Russia's actions in the region "probably indicate Russia's intention to exert a strong political and economic influence over Kherson over an extended period."
If the occupiers have turned off Ukrainian broadcasting, communications and the Internet, it is possible to listen to radio on medium waves (1278, 1404, 873, 657 kHz) with old receivers. Also Ukrainian channels are decoded on satellite:
- satellite: Hotbird 13;
- frequency: 11,219 MHz;
- polarization: H (horizontal);
- Symbol rate: 29 900;
- Error correction: FEC 3/5.
