The 'Russia to imminently cut itself off from the internet' claim is marked as unverified, as this was a verbal claim from a contributor to a discussion on the BBC World Service.

Last night, Channel 4 showed the first three episodes from a series that the current Ukraine President was in where he played a comedy part as...the Ukraine President! It had English subtitles.

In the current circumstances, i'm not sure whether I think this was appropriate or not.

Perhaps this one?

Cogent Communications, a U.S.-based internet service provider, will reportedly begin cutting off services to Russian clients.

David Schaeffer, Cogent's CEO, told The Washington Post that the company wanted to prevent the Russian government from using its network for cyberattacks and spreading propaganda, but doesn't want to cut off normal Russian citizens...

..."Cogent is not otherwise restricting or blocking traffic originating from or destined for Russia," the company said in a statement. "Cogent continues to provide services to Ukraine."
