Residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia region are facing a complete lack of mobile communication. This was reported by the Center for National Resistance of the SSO of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (CNR), informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that the problem is particularly acute in Vasylivka, Orlianske, Skelky, Pervomaiske, and Shevchenkove.
In the region, operators such as +7 Telecom and MirTelecom formally operate. These are quickly established structures of the occupation authorities, which operate without proper regulation and effectively have no obligations regarding the quality of communication. The infrastructure operates on the basis of equipment that previously belonged to Ukrainian operators and was appropriated after the occupation.
It is indicated that the lack of stable communication has critical consequences for the daily lives of local residents: people cannot contact relatives or call emergency services. In some villages, such as Skelky, mobile communication has been absent since August, and in others – for about a year.
"The only alternative remains cable internet, but even it does not provide reliable communication. Due to regular power outages, access to the network is often interrupted. As a result, residents of the communities found themselves in conditions of actual isolation," summarized the CNR.
Recall
Residents of occupied Donetsk region complain about multi-hour queues at mobile operator service points due to mass blocking of numbers and forced re-registration of SIM cards.
