Putin's Controversial Actions at St. Petersburg Economic Forum
TL;DR
Russian President Vladimir Putin cut mobile internet access at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) due to concerns over his safety from potential drone attacks. The measure is part of security measures to ensure that drones would not attack the building. Similar measures were taken during an event attended by Putin in Sochi earlier this month. Russia has been struck by a wave of drone attacks in recent weeks.
