"We must be understanding." The Nizhny Novgorod governor warned that even "white lists" would be limited.

In critical situations, even so-called whitelists can be disabled - about this said Gleb Nikitin at a meeting of the Legislative Assembly. 

Nikitin stated that they plan to add parking payment systems, school lunch payment systems, and some other services and websites requested by Nizhny Novgorod residents to the "white lists." However, it's not guaranteed that they will work, since "even with only the 'white lists' enabled, the LTE signal is still present." 

"And the big question is, doesn't it allow us to deploy the appropriate means we're currently fighting? In a critical situation, we need to be prepared for the fact that even 'white lists' won't work. We need to be understanding about this.", Nikitin explained. 

He made the statement after the drone attack on Nizhny Novgorod on the night of May 28. The attack damaged the courthouse. On the same day, Nizhny Novgorod residents demanded In the comments, provide the population with protective equipment and shelters, and also activate the warning system in a timely manner.

"Where's the information about the drone attack? No sirens, no warnings, just explosions overhead."- complained one city resident on Nikitin's VKontakte page. "How will they inform if there is no internet, the Telegram is blocked"“- answered the other. 

Regional authorities regularly justify Internet shutdowns are a security concern, but drone attacks on Russian cities continue despite these "security measures."
