From 2027, IMEI numbers will be strictly linked to subscriber numbers, and from 2028, only devices that are included in the state database will be able to connect to the network,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In effect, this means that it will be impossible to use a SIM card in an \u201cunregistered\u201d phone. The initiative is presented as technical market regulation, but in practice it creates an infrastructure for the total registration of mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As noted, such registration in Russia will be mandatory and paid, and the state will also receive an additional source of income from citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCD emphasized that in today&#8217;s totalitarian Russia, mobile communications are ceasing to be a private service and are becoming an element of state surveillance. Under the pretext of \u201corder\u201d and \u201csecurity,\u201d the authorities are tightening control over citizens&#8217; communications, gradually moving toward a model of complete information isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported earlier,\u00a0Russia is preparing a complete blockade of YouTube, which will be the next stage in the systematic digital isolation of the Russian population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/nato-secretary-general-highlights-poland-s-critically-important-support-for-ukraine\/\">NATO Secretary General Highlights Poland\u2019s \u201cCritically Important\u201d Support for Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Russian authorities are preparing a new stage of tightening control over &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1273454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36415,53,36422,50],"tags":[76,78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1273453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-russia-en","category-11473-news-en-3","category-svit-en","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Russia introduces total control over all mobile phones - CCD - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-introduces-total-control-over-all-mobile-phones-ccd\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Russia introduces total control over all mobile phones - CCD - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Russian authorities are preparing a new stage of tightening control over ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-introduces-total-control-over-all-mobile-phones-ccd\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-12-23T13:41:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/federal_register_1300x750-820x473.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"820\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"473\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-introduces-total-control-over-all-mobile-phones-ccd\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-introduces-total-control-over-all-mobile-phones-ccd\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"Russia introduces total control over all mobile phones &#8211;
