Of course, we are thinking about implementation of this law and how to execute it, but always there is a possibility – vpn, proxy, and even different ways people can get that access. We study how this solution will be applied: will check, the penalties, and how they will prove it, – said the co-owner of “Triolan” Vladimir Sidorenko
