Officials involved in preparations for Russia's 2024 presidential election have been instructed to stop using Apple iPhones.
This comes due to worries that the devices could be exploited by Western intelligence agencies.
Shortly after Russia sent its troops into Ukraine last year, U.S. and British spies claimed a scoop by uncovering and going public with intelligence that Putin was planning to invade.
It is unclear how the spies obtained such intelligence.
According to the Kommersant newspaper, Sergei Kiriyenko, the first deputy head of the presidential administration, told officials to change their phones by April 1.
Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov added; "Smartphones should not be used for official business.
"Any smartphone has a fairly transparent mechanism, no matter what operating system it has – Android or iOS. Naturally, they are not used for official purposes."
