Internet traffic in Ukraine down due to emergency power outages – Digital Transformation Ministry

KYIV. Nov 23 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov announced a drop in Internet traffic in Ukraine due to shelling of the energy infrastructure by the troops of the aggressor country Russia.

"Due to massive missile strikes by Russian terrorists, Internet traffic has been down in many regions. Emergency power outages. Communication towers and fixed-line operators switched to generators whenever possible. Mobile operators where the towers operate are overloaded with traffic," Fedorov wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday evening.

He said that the team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation centrally helps organize the delivery of diesel fuel to operators and providers, as well as in solving other operational problems.

"A challenge that no country has seen in the field of telecommunication. As in other industries. We will overcome it. We clearly know what to do. We are working," the Deputy Prime Minister stressed.
