"Russia has opened a new front in its campaign against Ukraine, hitting several
datacentres and internet providers in Kyiv this week in an apparent attempt to
weaken the digital backbone of the economy.
About 100,000 households in Kyiv and the surrounding region suffered temporary
internet outages after strikes on Wednesday and Thursday, according to
Ukraine’s digital transformation ministry.
On Friday, another drone strike in central Kyiv hit the offices of Datagroup,
one of Ukraine’s largest telecommunications companies, killing four people.
“Russia has targeted major Ukrainian datacentres, seeking to disrupt the flow
of information,” Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, wrote on X.
On Thursday, Polish authorities reported a Starlink satellite station in
central Poland serving Ukraine had been set on fire, in what appeared to be
part of a coordinated attack on Ukraine’s internet infrastructure. Local
officials described it as an “act of sabotage” linked to Moscow.
Russia has previously targeted Ukraine’s datacentres, but attacks on this scale
are new."
