Ukraine didn’t hit any Russian refineries overnight, but it did strike the third Yandex data center in a row, causing widespread service disruption, especially to the Yandex Taxi — Russia’s equivalent of Uber.

Trump thought blaming Ukraine for high diesel prices after it hit Russian refineries for fueling Putin's war would help him win the midterms. Now Ukraine is hitting Russian data centers fueling propaganda that helps MAGA. Losing cheap diesel hurts. Losing cheap disinfo hirts more

@JailbirdSven Maybe Ukraine can humour Trump for a bit. Pause refinery strikes but switch targets to Yandex? 😊

And let me tell you something. This might seem like a small thing to Americans and people in the West, but over here, where people rely heavily on taxis to get around, it's a pretty big damn deal. Any way you look at it, it's tit for tat. Every little disruption that chips away at the illusion that life in Russia can continue as normal while this war goes on is a win in my book. The more Russian society realizes that this war has real consequences at home, the harder it becomes to pretend everything is business as usual. So, with that said, good job. You have my salute. 🫡🇺🇦

At the end of the day, Russia has so many more assets and therefore vulnerabilities than Ukraine has.

During last week Ukraine attacked three Russian Yandex data centres — in Sasovo, Kaluga and Vladimir. The third strike fully stopped the company’s operations, causing widespread disruptions to its services and cloud infrastructure. Also, last week, Ukrainian drones hit major oil targets: the Samara pumping station (multiple large tanks damaged), Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat, the big Omsk refinery, Lukoil’s remote Ukhta plant and a burning Rostov oil terminal. Damage assessments at the refineries are still incomplete.

Russians continue to complain about disruptions to Yandex services following attacks on its data centers. Several experts have warned that some user data stored on Yandex Disk may be permanently lost. Yandex Bank customers are also reporting problems accessing their money, withdrawing funds, making payments, and carrying out transactions. Service disruptions are also continuing to affect the Yandex Pay payment system, Yandex Pro for taxi drivers and couriers, the Yandex Cloud platform, as well as Home with Alice, Yandex Music, Yandex Telemost, Yandex Eats, and Yandex Mail. According to IT experts, restoring the data centers could take more than six months. Some data is lost forever. This video is also an excellent "learning aid" for Russian swear words. There are a lot of them here.

Ukrainians have practically buried Russia’s internet! It has gone completely down across the entire Russian Federation. Today, Ukraine reportedly launched a campaign to take out Russian data centers — and Yandex was the first to get hit. Russian websites and online services have stopped functioning reliably across the country. Many are completely inaccessible, while others are experiencing massive disruptions. Meanwhile, the geniuses of Russian intelligence — or rather, Yandex — have blurred all four of their data centers on online maps. How exactly that's supposed to help them is anyone's guess. Today, the data center in Sasovo, Ryazan Oblast, reportedly burned to the ground. Three more remain — in Mytishchi, Kaluga, and Vladimir.

Yandex is Russia's leading IT giant; its cloud infrastructure supports not only the civilian sector but also business systems and government agencies, meaning the consequences of the attacks on it are systemic: Damage to data centers caused disruptions to over 80 of the company's services (including Yandex Go, Yandex Taxi, Yandex Music, Yandex Pay, and Yandex Pro). Since the Yandex Cloud platform provides computing power to third-party companies, the infrastructure of many major Russian enterprises also went down. Transport collapse: Taxi and courier delivery operations were completely blocked in many Russian cities (drivers lost access to navigation and their accounts). Paralysis of retail and banking: Systems belonging to major marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon) and large retail chains (Pyaterochka, Lenta, Magnit) were affected, as were the services of leading banks (T-Bank, Alfa-Bank) and the Russian Railways (RZD) website. Issues with government services: Access problems were reported on the "Gosuslugi" portal and the websites of several Russian media outlets. Incidentally, there are reports that the number of Russian bots on social media has dropped significantly.

A fire broke out after an attack at the Sasta machine-tool plant, which is also the site of a Yandex data center, in Sasovo, Russia’s Ryazan region. It is reported that the Yandex data center suffered a major outage. The company said operations at its Sasovo center have been completely halted and services may experience disruptions. Power supply problems disrupted a wide range of Yandex Cloud components, including computing resources, networks, data storage, databases, Kubernetes, cloud services, AI systems, security tools, and monitoring systems. Wikimapia data confirms that the data center is located on the factory grounds. Last month, employees also showed equipment at the facility and said it was located in Sasovo. Sasta manufactures CNC machine tools. Its equipment is used in Russia’s defense, aerospace, transport, and heavy industries. The company is under international sanctions.

Update: A fourth Yandex data center is down. This time in Vladimir. The facility, with 50 MW of capacity and 2,880 server racks, stopped operating completely after a drone strike. Yandex Cloud collapsed. Yandex Home is offline across Russia, Belarus, and Serbia. So are Yandex Music and Telemost. Bryansk is evacuating a high-rise over collapse risk. Sochi spent hours under drone attack. Samara reports another tank fire. Heavy smoke. Moscow's sovereign cloud is now a target list.

Total chaos in Russian cities after Ukraine's strikes on just two Yandex data centers wipes out GPS, payment systems, taxi apps and the largest websites, across the country. Russia's centralized North Korean style internet is the country's weakness, the inability to relocate loads to neighboring nations, as Ukraine does when data centers were struck.

A series of video recordings from cameras inside the Ukrainian home improving store, at the moment of russia’s strike. Lots of civilian people walking around the store on the weekday. Russia’s terrorism cannot be happening for a third year in a row, Ukraine critically needs the right and permission to hit military targets on Russia’s territory using ally-supplied weaponry to prevent even more casualties amongst innocent civilians.
