The concept of a 'sovereign RuNet' has been a focal point for Russian President Vladimir Putin since 2019, reflecting a desire to control the flow of information within the country.

This initiative seeks to create a separate internet infrastructure that would effectively isolate Russia from the global internet, raising concerns about censorship and information control.

Recent reports suggest that the technical aspects of this project are being expedited, indicating a significant shift in how Russia may engage with the digital world in the near future.
