Moscow, December 19 (Xinhua) — Mobile phone restrictions in Russian regions are related to security and aimed at mitigating the risk of drone strikes. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this at the "Year in Review" event on Friday.
"We understand that the restrictions are related to the need to ensure security and minimize the danger from air raids and drone strikes," said Vladimir Putin.
The Russian President noted that this problem could be solved in two ways. "The first is to switch to domestic software and our own hardware. The second is to leverage the capabilities of existing foreign manufacturers, but we would need to negotiate with them to transfer these services to the Russian Federation," Putin emphasized, adding that in any case, "work will need to be done" on both fronts.
The "Year in Review with Vladimir Putin" program, which combines the head of state's major press conference and a live Q&A session, aired live on Friday.
