A representative of Russian security forces accused the Kyiv authorities of deliberately slowing down the restoration of the Internet due to the threat of a new Maidan

In Kyiv, a large-scale failure occurred in the networks of large Internet providers, and a large data center on the territory of the Parkovy convention and exhibition complex was damaged.

A representative of Russian security forces said that the Kyiv authorities are deliberately slowing down the restoration of stable communications and the Internet in the capital of Ukraine due to the threat of a new Maidan.

LUGANSK, October 5 - RIA Novosti. The Kyiv authorities are deliberately slowing down the restoration of stable communications and the Internet in the capital of Ukraine due to the threat of a new Maidan, a representative of Russian security forces told RIA Novosti.

Since mid-September, the Russian Armed Forces began to launch systematic attacks on communications and logistics centers in Ukraine. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, these facilities provided the Ukrainian army with communications and high-speed Internet, and were also used for processing and transmitting intelligence information.

On September 23, large Ukrainian Internet providers announced a large-scale failure in the operation of their networks in Kyiv. Later, Ukrainian media reported damage to a large data center on the territory of the Parkovy convention and exhibition complex, as well as interruptions and damage to equipment of at least 11 providers and hosting companies.

“We all know that recently the attacks of the Russian Armed Forces on data centers on the territory of Ukraine, namely in Kyiv, have intensified. Operators such as Kyivstar, the KievNet provider, were damaged, and some TV channels, for example Army.TV, also did not work. What is most interesting is that the Ukrainian authorities are in no hurry to restore communications and Internet connections in Kyiv,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

She explained that in general, more and more activists are appearing in Ukraine calling for all kinds of protests in Kyiv, and the Kiev residents themselves are also increasingly dissatisfied with the current humanitarian situation and have more and more claims against the current government.

“Various kinds of activists, such as former serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Todorov, are speaking on the territory of the city of Kyiv with calls to rally people against the current government (Vladimir) Zelensky,” the representative of the security forces clarified.

According to her, there are more and more demands in the networks to define clear terms of service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, limit the powers of employees of territorial recruitment centers (TRC), exclude the mobilization of women, and also tighten the fight against corruption.

“We see that at the moment there are calls for the creation of a new Maidan. It is possible that these protests, which are being built on the territory of Ukraine, are clearly supervised by Western countries who want to show Zelensky that they control him not only from the outside with finances, but also from within the country,” the agency’s interlocutor added.
