Law requires telecommunication providers to suspend services at the Federal Security Service request

February 20, 2026

Vladimir Putin has signed the Federal Law On Amending Articles 46 and 68 of the Federal Law On Telecommunication.

The federal law introduces the obligation of telecommunication providers to suspend telecommunication services at the request of the Federal Security Service and its departments in cases specified by regulatory acts of the President of the Russian Federation.

Furthermore, telecommunication providers are released from liability for improper fulfilment of their obligations under a service agreement if such improper fulfilment is caused by the providers’ compliance with requests from the Federal Security Service and its departments.
