Yekaterinburg residents were frightened by a complete internet shutdown.

      Today, residents of Sverdlovsk were frightened by a fake news about a complete disconnection from the internet. Instead of the internet, a sovereign "Uralnet" is allegedly going to be launched in the region. This message was disseminated on behalf of the Sverdlovsk Ministry of Digital Development on the morning of April 23. All media received the "document" via email.

      — In accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications of the Sverdlovsk Region dated April 20, 2026, the Ministry is sending you official information for publication. Starting May 1, 2026, the provision of access services to the global Internet network will be completely discontinued throughout the Sverdlovsk region, and the regional secure network "Uralnet" will be put into operation, the text of the letter states.

      This is fake. The information being false was confirmed by the Telegram channel "Yekaterinburg Main," which is close to the city administration.
