In the Russia and Ukraine wars, technology companies are imposing a number of restrictions on Russia. Companies such as Facebook's meta, microblogging site Twitter, Apple and Google have banned many services in Russia. Now, internet service has been banned by Cogent Communications in Russia. You can also understand cogent communications as the Internet backbone. Cogent Communications works to provide the Internet in many large parts of the world, including Russia. Cogent Communications has suspended its service in Russia in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine.

According to the report, the US-based company is one of the world's largest internet provider companies. Along with many high-profile Russian companies, the company provides its services in more than 50 countries. In a post to Russian customers, the company cited "economic sanctions" and "uncertainty arising out of the security situation" as the reasons for the closure of the service. According to reports, Cogent Communications has terminated its contracts with Russian customers in view of the EU ban.

After the shutdown of Cogent's service in Russia, internet connectivity in the region will be slowed down, but there will be no complete shutdown of the internet. However, after this, the burden of Cogent Communications' customers will also fall on other providers, which will reduce internet speed. There is no news at the moment about whether other service providers will also close their services in Russia. Digital rights activists have criticized Cogent Communications' decision. The activist said this would not give the Russians the exact news of the attack.
