This and other Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers caused serious disruptions to the Russian segment of the internet and popular services, including the Yandex Pay payment system.

The Yandex data center in Vladimir is one of the largest in the company’s network. Its rated capacity is approximately 56 MW.
The first phase of the data center began operations in September 2017. The capacity of the first phase was 10 MW; the initial project called for a gradual expansion of IT capacity to 40 MW and the installation of 2,880 server racks.
Let’s get those others too.
Destroy all Russian data centers, allthough whole America will not like that either. OMG, i need a drink.
Don’t confuse the Nazis in the WH and the former GOP with whole America. Most of us are against these assholes.
The world sees the daily Ukazes by Trump, and a sleeping and snooring Congress. And all in favor of Russia, to put it mildly.
We see the sanctions from hell every day, aimed at Ukraine.
Trump destroyed the GOP successfully, as ordered by putin and schroeder.
