   Russian Internet users are unable to access the open Internet

   Russian ISPs have been throttling internet connections to Cloudflare-protected websites since June 9, 2025, limiting data transfer to only 16 KB per connection. This effectively renders most web navigation impossible for Russian users. The throttling affects all connection protocols including HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3, and is implemented through various mechanisms like packet injection and connection blocking. Multiple ISPs including Rostelecom, Megafon, and MTS are participating in these restrictions, which appear to be part of Russia's broader effort to isolate its internet infrastructure from Western technology providers.

   Connect any React application to an MCP server in three lines of code

   Cloudflare open-sourced use-mcp, a React library that connects to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with just 3 lines of code, handling transport protocols, authentication, and session management automatically. The library supports OAuth 2.1, connection retries, real-time state management, and both Server-Sent Events and Streamable HTTP transport methods. Additionally, Cloudflare released their AI Playground source code, a complete chat interface that demonstrates MCP integration with Workers AI and provides debugging capabilities for MCP connections.
