Just cut Russia off from the global internet at this point. Cut all the undersea and underground cables, change the passwords on the satellites, cut them off anyway you can. Yeah, it's sad for the decent people who have to live in that hellhole, but at this point I just don't care.

Restricting the internet based on where you happen to live can only end badly.

Their troll farms were in Lithuania and Ukraine, and I'm not sure where they are now.

If they can't contact their troll farms, they won't be able to give new orders.

They could always send carrier pigeons with new orders.
