Ukrainian Drone Strikes Disrupt Russian Data Centres and AI Development
Ukrainian drone attacks have damaged key Russian data centres belonging to Yandex, Sberbank, and VKontakte, causing widespread disruptions to cloud services, banking, e-commerce, and AI applications. The damage has also affected Russia's judicial system, delaying court sessions. Experts warn repairs could take months or years, potentially hindering Russia's ambitions in artificial intelligence development. Both sides have targeted critical infrastructure during the ongoing conflict, with Russia intensifying attacks on Ukraine's power grid as winter approaches.
