Ukraine's internet survives Russian data center attacks — interview

Russian drone attacks in Kyiv destroyed the MiroHost data center, causing outages for several providers and networks. Founder Oleksandr Olshansky told NV Business whether Ukraine faces a total internet blackout and why the enemy targets digital infrastructure. Olshansky explained that Russia is striking data centers to disrupt communications and sow panic, though a complete internet collapse is unlikely. He noted that much state and business data has already migrated to foreign cloud services, limiting the attacks' strategic impact. The strikes primarily affect smaller hosting providers and local networks rather than critical national infrastructure. Olshansky emphasized that while attacks cause temporary disruptions, Ukraine's internet resilience remains strong due to distributed systems and international cloud backups.
