Russia and Ukraine are both racing to take control of a key battlefield in the ongoing conflict: the internet. Moves by both countries have open internet advocates worrying that civilians’ rights to the global internet and freedom of information are getting caught in the middle.

ICANN has not yet responded to the request, Andrii Nabok, head of the expert group for the development of fixed broadband at Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation and Ukraine’s representative to ICANN, confirmed in an email to CyberScoop. The email, first reported by Rolling Stone, presses ICANN to “revoke, permanently or temporarily” Russian domains, revoke identification certificates for the domains and shut down DNS root servers in the Russian Federation.
