Zelensky: Russia targets data centers to disrupt Ukrainian daily life

bbc.com (Arabic) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia has expanded its attacks to target data centers and internet providers in Ukraine, aiming to disrupt civilians' ability to stay connected, study, and work. A Russian drone struck a business center in Kyiv on Friday, killing four people and damaging a data center, while a separate attack killed a 14-year-old Israeli boy. Russia confirmed targeting the site, claiming Ukrainian military intelligence used it, and about 100,000 homes lost internet service on Wednesday. Russia has intensified strikes on energy and railway infrastructure as winter approaches, while Ukraine has hit Russian oil refineries. Moscow denies planning to attack Europe, and the EU approved €6.6 billion in aid for Ukraine.
