| Abstract: | Wars and conflicts between independent states cause major shifts in policies between them. The progress of the Internet in the last 20 years made it a part of war and policies countries use to influence each other’s Internet traffic. The Russia-Ukraine war that started on February 24, 2022 is no exception and had a significant impact on Internet routing. In our research, we focus on Internet route changes in Ukraine and Russia using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) historical datasets in the time leading up to the war and during the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022. To do this, we used the BGPStream open-source framework for BGP data analysis. After performing the research, we could see the huge impact of the war on Ukraine and especially on those cities located close to Russia. We also observed an impressive cyber response from parties that fight on the Ukrainian side that either slowed down or completely disabled Russian online services. Lastly, we showed the general trend of isolation of Russia caused by the sanctions imposed on it for its unjustified invasion of Ukraine. |
