Ukraine strikes on Russian data centres expose Kremlin internet centralisation vulnerability

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted and damaged multiple Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir, and a Sberbank data center in Balakovo, Saratov region. These strikes have caused significant disruptions to Russian internet services, Yandex cloud operations, and potentially crippled three supercomputers, marking a direct escalation in cyber-physical warfare against Russian civilian digital infrastructure. The full extent of service recovery, data loss, and long-term impact on Russia's centralized digital infrastructure remains uncertain.
