What's corroborated

Since early March, authorities have disrupted mobile network connections especially in Moscow, with the network in the city center practically completely down, according to The Moscow Times.

Russia has had extensive mobile network outages since May 2025, with over 11,900 disruptions recorded in seven months, and by the end of the year, the total duration of outages was estimated at about 37,166 hours.

The phenomenon has been influenced by extensive internet outages, as assessed by The Moscow Times.

In the Yandex search engine, no similar trend has been seen; according to Yandex Wordstat, emigration-related searches have been growing steadily but are still far from record levels.

After early 2023, emigration interest steadily declined and reached its lowest point in February 2025, when it was only about one-third of the level three years earlier.

Interest in emigration is approaching the levels seen in early 2023 after the partial mobilization.

Once completed, the database from the Donetsk catalogs will be given to Ukrainian authorities.

More than a decade later, Ukrainian entrepreneur Oleksandr Velychko is digitizing the catalogs, with his team taking over three painstaking months to process about 400 works.

Those catalogs covering just over 1,000 items are the only surviving evidence from the Donetsk Regional Art Museum.

Chumak spent a year transporting the catalogs through checkpoints into Ukrainian-controlled territory, leaving most behind to avoid attention from pro-Russian forces who searched her at each crossing.

Halyna Chumak, former director of the Donetsk Regional Art Museum, fled Russian-controlled Donetsk in 2014, carrying catalogs documenting a fraction of the museum's roughly 15,000 artworks.

In the past, Russian-appointed officials in occupied territories described the removal of cultural items as protective measures.

The Russian Culture Ministry did not respond to an Associated Press request for comment on the alleged removal of items from Ukrainian museums.

Across much of Ukraine, such documentation does not exist, and cultural losses can only be pursued in court if they can be proved item by item.

The digital archive forms the most detailed record of looted cultural property during the war, allowing prosecutors to work with Interpol to trace missing works and pursue those responsible.

The Kherson case stands out because Ukraine knows exactly what was lost, as Dotsenko had photographed every item before the war and created a digital archive.

Ukraine is raising its voice over the looting as Russia seeks to return to the world's cultural stage, with the Venice Biennale planning to allow Russian representatives to take part for the first time since 2022.

The fate of nearly 10,000 pieces from the Kherson Art Museum remains unknown.
