Ukrainian authorities have arrested a 28-year-old man in Khmelnytskyi for running an illicit virtual private network (VPN) service that enabled access to the Russian segment of the internet, known as Runet.
Ukrainian law enforcement announced that the rogue operator allowed users to bypass sanctions imposed by Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), which restrict access to Russian websites and media platforms. The service, in operation since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, allowed individuals—including Russian sympathizers and those in occupied territories—to access Russian government sites, social media, and news sources, which are otherwise blocked by Ukrainian internet service providers.
