KYIV, Nov 21 – In Ukraine on Wednesday after the release of the game by Ukrainian developers "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl" Internet traffic in Ukraine increased by 35% compared to the usual level, which led to an overload of international traffic channels and a slowdown in the networks of fixed Internet providers in Ukraine.

"On November 20, due to the massive download of the long-awaited game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which weighs 150 gigabytes, there was an overload on the international trunk channels, which led to a temporary decrease in the Internet speed in Ukraine. Now the situation has stabilized," the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development said in a response to a request from Interfax-Ukraine.
