"For security during Victory Day events on May 9, access to mobile internet - including the 'white list' of sites - and SMS services will be temporarily restricted, the ministry said."
"Officials said the move goes beyond standard filtering arrangements, with access to normally permitted services also expected to be curtailed. Fixed-line internet and Wi-Fi networks are expected to remain operational."
"No restrictions are planned for May 7-8, although officials warned that additional measures could be introduced if specific security threats emerge."
"The decision comes amid growing concern in Moscow over the risk of Ukrainian disruption during the annual military parade on Red Square, one of the Kremlin's most high-profile national events."

The restrictions apply during the parade period, while no restrictions are planned for May 7-8, though additional measures could be introduced if security threats emerge. Fixed-line internet and Wi-Fi networks are expected to remain operational. The move follows concerns about potential Ukrainian disruption of the Red Square parade and related warnings about possible retaliatory actions.
