As Russia pushes to tighten control over digital infrastructure, the State Duma has approved a package of amendments banning the use and sale of foreign satellite equipment that has not received authorization to use Russian radio frequencies.According to Russian media outlet Izvestia, satellite internet devices that have not been assigned radio frequencies by the state will be banned from circulation under the new legislative package “Anti-Fraud 2.0.” JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.The new measures, which go beyond import restrictions introduced in April, are primarily aimed at Elon Musk’s Starlink terminals. Despite the service already being banned in Russia, the terminals have continued to enter the country through unofficial channels in recent years, The Moscow Times reported Wednesday.This newly approved legislation aims to stop the circulation of equipment operating outside Russia’s regulated frequency framework and to cover a ban on domestic sales as well. Essentially, the move is meant to close loopholes that allowed such equipment to enter the market in the first place, despite earlier controls.Elon Musk’s Starlink was “by default illegitimate on the territory of the Russian Federation,” the founder of K-Internet, Sergey Pekhterev said, adding that it did not “in any way comply with the requirements for a satellite communication terminal, meaning no frequencies were allocated to them.”
