Viber has resumed its work in the temporarily occupied territories and plans to expand its team

Viber is once again operating in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This was made possible, in particular, thanks to the efforts of the service team, the company told DOU.

Most importantly, since June 6, Viber has resumed its work in the temporarily uncontrolled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. "In fact, the" authorities" of the "LDNR" announced the blocking, but now Viber works everywhere, including thanks to the efforts of our team, " DOU noted in the company. Hundreds of thousands of people use Viber in the Donbas. Rakuten Viber did not make cuts in Ukraine due to a large-scale war. Since February 24, 2022, the company has hired four more specialists. They promise to announce a new hire soon, but they have not yet commented on what specific specialists they are talking about. Details

The fact that Viber was blocked on the territory of the temporarily occupied Donbass, it became known on June 3. The company called the decision "an attempt to limit the safe communication of people."

Illegal armed groups of ORDLO said that the service is blocked because the Ukrainian military calculates the objects that are being attacked using Viber, allegedly through it and reveals the location of critical civil and military infrastructure.

Viber claims that all correspondence is fully encrypted by default and now the service works without interruptions throughout Ukraine.
