Russia is targeting the ordinary routines of people in Ukraine through attacks on the country’s data centres, President Volodymyr Zelensky says. He said the strikes were intended to disrupt people’s ability to remain connected, study and work.
According to Zelensky, the attacks are aimed not only at physical infrastructure but also at the digital services that support daily life. Damage to data centres could affect people’s access to communications and other activities that depend on digital connectivity.
The Ukrainian president described the reported purpose of the strikes as an effort to interfere with normal life across the country. His comments focused on the impact on civilians, particularly their ability to stay connected and continue studying and working.
The information available does not provide further details about the attacks, including when they occurred, which data centres were affected or the extent of any disruption. It is also not clear from the available information how Ukraine has responded to the reported strikes.
At this time, the known account is limited to Zelensky’s statement that Russia is targeting Ukraine’s data centres in an effort to undermine everyday connectivity, education and work.
