Residents in the Russian capital Moscow can expect internet problems up to and including Saturday, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
There may be restrictions while state guests are in Moscow for the celebrations marking the victory over Nazi Germany 80 years ago, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskov
“These are restrictions on the functioning of the mobile internet – for understandable reasons,” Peskov told Russian news agencies.
“We have to take into account the dangerous neighbourhood we are in,” he said.
Complaints about temporary mobile internet outages have been growing for days, especially in the capital.
Russia is celebrating the 80th anniversary of Victory Day on Friday with a military parade on Red Square.
In the run-up to the planned celebrations, Ukraine recently attacked numerous targets in Russia, according to Russian reports. Drone attacks have caused chaos at airports in the country.
Numerous state guests are expected to attend the parade in Moscow, including Chinese President Xi Jinping.
For the celebrations, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day ceasefire in the Russian war against Ukraine. Kiev said the ceasefire was too short and has called for a 30-day truce.
