Peskov: Businesses will not be compensated for damages incurred due to the communications outage

Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that the issue of any compensation or support measures for businesses due to the internet shutdown is not currently on the agenda.

Responding to a question about this during a briefing, Peskov noted that these actions were taken in accordance with current legislation in the interests of public safety, which is an absolute priority. The presidential press secretary recalled that at a recent meeting with members of the government, the president emphasized the need to properly inform the public and ensure the functioning of critical life-support systems.

As is known, Russian telecom operators have warned of possible mobile internet shutdowns and SMS restrictions in Moscow and the Moscow region from May 5 to 9 due to security concerns related to the preparation and holding of holiday events.

Peskov also spoke about the additional security measures being taken by Russian intelligence agencies ahead of Victory Day, necessitated by the complex operational situation. Specifically, the annual Immortal Regiment march in Russia will be held online this year. In-person events will be held in several countries where there is interest. On Victory Day itself, Russian President Vladimir Putin will host a reception for foreign guests attending the celebratory events, with a number of bilateral meetings planned.

Peskov noted that these actions were taken in accordance with current legislation in the interests of the safety of citizens, which is an absolute priority.

As far as I understand the law, these restrictions are legal in two cases:
1. When a state of emergency is introduced.
2. When waging an official declared war.
Or am I confusing something?

There's been a lot of talk in the media from Dmitriev, Peskov, and Zakharova, but no clear explanation from the head of state, who, upon taking office, swore an oath on the Constitution, which contains many of the things currently being violated. No one doubted that any compensation would be provided, but instead, their hand will be shoved deeper into the people's pockets, and prices and taxes will only rise.

Quote from Silver99

No one doubted that something would be compensated, but on the contrary, the hand will be stuck deeper into the population’s pockets, prices and taxes will only rise.

I'm curious: why don't mobile operators, who don't actually provide the services I've paid for, factor this into the cost of mobile communications? Payment for both communications and mobile data remains in full, and is even increasing.

[Civil]

Well, there's no talk at all about ordinary people.

[Ivan№One]

Not just in full, MTS gave me a raise last month, by 100 rubles.
I'm thinking about switching to another operator, which advertises that it will compensate for disconnections... but I think there's a catch there too.

And where there is a problem now it is not there.

How are we to understand the words of the Kremlin's Mustache in light of new peaceful Russian casualties, even with restrictions that did not exist before?
Where are the methods for preventive response to current and future threats?
Ultimately, Anchorage's selfish and personal deals are not helping to reduce tensions.
Instead, there is widespread tension in society due to digital concentration camp bans, similar to those imposed by COVID-19, with the blocking of Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, and other services.
We must muster the courage to overthrow the Jewish-Bandera-Nazi and Zionist regime in Kiev in order to move forward in eliminating the root causes of the conflict and solving all the goals and objectives of the SVO, which the authorities no longer talk about, as they did in February 2022.

Someone please explain this to me, who is used to the idea that a telephone is for making calls.

They are cutting off our mobile internet so that the enemy cannot direct drones to our cities via the internet.
Great! But pasaran!
At this very time, the Internet works from Belarusian, Kazakh and other cards.
Is it a matter of principle that Belarusian maps are not installed in Ukrainian drones for ideological reasons?
What kind of cards are in their drones anyway? Are Ukrainians buying our SIM cards en masse to put in their drones? So they can effectively block them?

Summary.
We're sitting without internet. Cell phone operators are having a nice break. Ukrainian drones aren't flying on MTS SIM cards, apparently.

So the question is - WHY IS ALL THIS? This whole comedy with the shutdown?

Let me reiterate: the only thing I understand about smartphones and cell phones is "making calls." So I might be misunderstanding things. I apologize in advance to the experts if my questions are completely stupid.

[al3x]

What kind of cards do they have in their drones?

Maybe the Ukrainian ones are worth it, since all but the Russian ones work on our territory. Maybe theirs are functioning too. I wouldn't be surprised at all. 🤦‍♂️

Maybe in a few years someone will get three years in jail for this... I'm talking about how the Ministry of Emergency Situations, in partnership with MTS, is happily spending its budget on pointless SMS messaging.
Multiply the number of subscribers by the price of a text message and add 4-5 per day—even with a HUGE discount, the budget option is incredibly affordable. And all this just to tell me about possible rain...

The magic word "rollback"...
I just close the door behind the fire inspector who issued me a fine for the lack of fire doors in the office - and 20 minutes later I have 8 commercial offers for these doors in my email.

Life in the 21st Century = about MONEYOne can philosophize about goodness, believe in God, and be prepared to die for one's beliefs.

But we must clearly understand that our faith, philosophy, and ideas are USED AGAINST US by those who bet on "fun with money."

[Gardamir]

Disabling mobile internet during drone flights is a comprehensive security measure. Even if the drone has a European SIM card, it still connects to local infrastructure (base stations of Russian operators) via roaming.

but

SIM cards aren't the only way to communicate; many drones only operate via radio or satellite communications.

and from autumn the Ukrainian Armed Forces will start firing missiles.

[123_123]

Perhaps, under the guise of anti-drone protection, they're testing control and shutting down the global network, while creating their own domestic Russian one. Isolationism has never led to anything good, only to backwardness.

That's right, I'm of the same opinion.
But I can’t even call, they taught me not to.
I took a family of pigeons from a friend, I am conducting correspondence without any Tyrnet, SMS and enemy WhatsApp, Meta, Telegram and other Besogon and SatanoBesiya.
Even when they start to take out the bourgeois and capitalists with the national wealth, I will find out later than anyone else.
This is not the kind of future I would like to leave to my grandchildren in a Fatherland where total lies reign from above, and those below suffer from below.

Unfortunately, I am not a historian, archaeologist or discoverer, otherwise I would have gotten to the bottom of the truth from the moment of the birth of world civilization and culture, and then civilization and culture from the times of Ancient Rus'.

How should we understand the words of the Kremlin's Mustache?

What's not clear here? Everything is 146% clear. He stated it plainly, to the entire country: "Just be patient for a couple of weeks. The information noise will die down, and we'll resolve everything quietly and for a small fee."

They should have just shut off all internet connections for the rest of the Second World War and not bothered making up excuses every time. The fact that there won't be decent internet in the army is simply because there never was, and most likely never will be.

In your case, it turns out that if someone dies, then it’s also nothing special - without a head, but with the Internet

Even old ladies have stopped believing the nonsense about the benefits of turning off the internet to protect against drones.

Well, as for the benefits, that's your personal opinion. The question is safety, even if it's very inconvenient.
Why then did both our and the Ukrainian UAVs actively use mobile internet back in the day? To watch cartoons to avoid getting bored on the road?

[Gardamir]

What kind of security is this? If AI exists, there are missiles.
So, the question is, who banned the war? After all, they fought quite successfully for the first six months, but then they stopped and started counting square kilometers.

Yes, most drones can fly in areas without mobile phone coverage (GSM/4G/5G) or internet access. They use their own communication channels, GPS navigation, and automated modes, making them independent of cellular networks.
How drones work without internet: Direct Radio Control (RC): The remote controller communicates with the drone via a dedicated radio frequency (usually 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz) that operates independently of the cellular network. Autonomous Flight (GPS/GNSS): The drone uses satellite navigation to fly along preset waypoints, even if contact with the operator is lost. Autonomous Return to Home (RTH): The Return to Home function works via GPS, allowing the drone to return to its takeoff point without cellular service. On-Board Data Recording: Photos and videos are saved to an SD card inside the drone, rather than being transferred to the cloud via the internet.

[Tagan]

What kind of security is there if AI exists?

All available technologies are used if they allow you to achieve your goal, and not just what you have cited.

Is it President Putin or Peskov? I don't like Americans, but they have some positive qualities. Have you ever heard Trump's press secretary, Kate Levitt, say, "I think, I believe we've decided..." No. She says, "The president thinks, the president thinks, the president will announce it this evening."
There's another question. Is this President Putin's opinion or Peskov's own blundering? It's hard to tell when Peskov is speaking on Putin's behalf, and when he's speaking on his own.
p.s. I would fire my employee who is talking nonsense within five minutes of finding out about the nonsense.

Doesn't business want to compensate the state for its expenses? Or can it only take them? How many billions have the oligarchs gotten richer in the past year? And how many new billionaires have joined their tight-knit group? The money just flows one way, like with gasoline in Rus'—the price always goes up, regardless of global oil prices. Maybe it's time to remove the check valve on big business; they've accumulated enough fat to last for many years.

I don't even want to comment, it's all disgusting. One thing is clear: if these people aren't removed from power, it will only get worse, and even our defeat doesn't seem so unlikely anymore.

This is precisely the very same chess zuzwang. These people who have attached themselves to the body of Rus' will never relinquish power voluntarily. So they will continue on the same course! And rebellion and revolution will also finish off Russia. Ideally, there should be evolution. But I personally don't believe in these politically impotent people. They just can't do it.

A new situation has emerged since the beginning of the year. Massive strikes on Russian territory have begun, and they appear to be escalating and expanding. The Kremlin doesn't know how to respond; it seems to be as sudden for them as it was for us. :((

For him it seems to be as sudden as for us.

Unlike us, he has intelligence, the General Staff, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a whole bunch of other research institutes that we feed with our taxes to keep track of things. But no one holds anyone accountable. That's why it's "sudden" for them, too. And that's why the decision of February 22, 2022, was also "sudden."

This is understandable, but what worries me more is: will you ever formalize restrictions and permissions on communications in law?!!!
For those who don't know, it's now completely legal for any cop, even without a trial, to confiscate your Wi-Fi router if they break into your apartment. This is a transceiver, not registered with Roskomnadzor. Furthermore, Moscow is still under the Luzhkov decree, which requires registration of ALL transceiver devices, and even a home wafer falls under this...
This is just one example.
