<p>Dear Christine,</p>
<p>Тhank you so much for sending the blog post by Andrew Sullivan.</p>
<p>"The idea of unplugging a country is as wrong when people want to
do it to another country as it is when governments want to do it
to their own" , "Cutting a whole population off the Internet will
stop disinformation coming from that population—but it also stops
the flow of truth" - I personally absolutely agree with this.</p>
<p>Kindest regards,</p>
<p>Anna Karakhanyan</p>

Internet in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<br>
