Grigorenko told when the “Green Button” will appear on “State Services”

The “Green Button” for lifting restrictions when protecting against fraudsters will appear on the “State Services” in 2026, it will allow users to remove the freezing of online transactions that the “Red Button” produces, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Grigorenko told the agency that the “Red Button” for protection against fraudsters will be launched on the portal this year, and now banks and telecom operators are connecting to the service. He explained that the service will help those who fell for the tricks of scammers - if the user presses the button, significant online transactions are frozen.

“In parallel, the Green Button will also work on the State Services. It will allow you to remove the freeze on online transactions after confirming your identity. The service will also appear this year,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

He added that the service will work to cancel the Red Button.

The Russian government is actively working to protect citizens by introducing measures to counter telephone and online scammers. Thus, the first package of measures to protect against fraudsters came into force in June 2025. It includes about 30 initiatives, which are being introduced in stages.

Russians also got the opportunity to refuse SMS mailings and spam calls.

In addition, at the end of June, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law that introduces new measures to protect citizens from telephone and Internet scammers. It includes about 30 measures, including a panic button on State Services, a self-ban on incoming international calls and restrictions on the number of bank cards.
