Ukraine has restrictions on the use of cell signal blocker

　　In Ukraine, it is illegal to use cellphone signal jammers. The punishment of illegal use of cell blockers may include huge fines and may even bear criminal liability in some cases. Article 30 of Ukraine's "Law on Ukraine Radio Frequency Resources" states that the use of radio electronic equipment to interfere with the operation of other radio electronic equipment or cause obstacles to the work of radio frequency permit users. The institution responsible for supervising Ukraine's radio spectrum is the National Communications and Information Supervision Commission (NCCIR). Only enterprises authorized by NCCIR for specific purposes (such as testing equipment or ensure national security) are allowed to use interference technology.
