Information about these links disappeared from the Peeringdb database and confirmed that only Google employees could delete the database. Although some traffic exchange points are still physically connected to Google, the company stopped to announce routes and to buy traffic through Russian servers.
Experts argue that the cause of the disconnection may be financial difficulties, because Google’s Russian section is limited to sanctions and judicial fines that complicate the maintenance of the bankruptcy and the care of the servers and the repayment of the infrastructure. In this context, the incoming and outgoing traffic of Google services in Russia can be directed through transit networks that will lead to an increase in delays and a decrease in service quality.
