"Only VPN tunnels that are pre-approved by state authorities will continue to function," Mazay Banzaev, the Founder of Russia-based Amnezia VPN, told TechRadar in an interview earlier this year."

What defense is there against this? How do you get around this if it's implemented?

The sanctions aren't sufficient. They want to show to the world that they can have their own economy crumble by consequence of their own actions.

Yeah no, that's not going to save you, just like when you said that four years ago. The sanctions aren't even in effect right now, due to the oil crisis. You guys are just so clueless it's insane
