There are rumors that Russia is about to cut themselves off the internet exactly because of this reason, any day from now.

They have been preparing for it for many years, and they had an exercise in 2021, which was based on the law introduced in 2019.

Still way too much depends on overseas infrastructure. I remember how they blocked some parts of AWS in an effort to block Telegram. Almost everything broke. Even services that were supposed to be fully local.
