Lumen Becomes Second U.S. Internet Service Provide to Cut Russian Ties

Lumen, a leading American Internet provider to Russia, announced that it was severing business relations in the country, a move likely to increase Russia’s isolation as its citizens slip behind what some analysts are calling a new digital Iron Curtain. Lumen became the second top U.S.-based carrier to make such a move in recent days, following Friday’s announcement by Cogent Communications.
