Amnezia VPN has been nearly non-functional for several days due to a large-scale DDoS attack that made it impossible for users to switch between servers and affected all Free and Premium users. According to meduza.io, Amnezia VPN developers attributed the outages to an unprecedented DDoS attack amid targeted blocking of a large array of Amnezia VPN IP addresses. Roskomnadzor is allegedly conducting DDoS attacks against Amnezia VPN’s infrastructure, according to meduza. ASVT attributed the DDoS attack to the Ukrainian IT Army.

Separately, a major DDoS attack targeted the Russian provider ASVT, disrupting its mobile app, website, and customer accounts, according to therecord.media. Residents reported being unable to work remotely, pay at local shops using card terminals, or access their buildings due to disabled internet-based intercom systems. Roskomnadzor is working with ASVT to restore services after the attack, according to therecord.media.

Other circumvention services like BlancVPN have also reported disruptions, according to techradar.com. In February 2022, DDoS attacks affected Ukrainian government, bank, and media websites. On February 24, 2022, Sberbank and Alfabank were targeted in consecutive DDoS attacks. Russia blocked international traffic to government websites after DDoS attacks. Russia limited access to Facebook in retaliation for the platform blocking four state-backed Russian media outlets, according to datacenterdynamics.com.
