Kyiv authorities containing pollution in Syrets Stream and Kyrylivske Lake following Russian attack – authorities

Today, Russia launched an attack that damaged data centers belonging to internet providers Pavutyna and UTELS. This assault could potentially disrupt network operations and access to services for the companies, according to their statements. One of Kyiv's data centers, which houses UTELS' core network equipment, was targeted in the attack.

Currently, the equipment at this site is without power, which may lead to disruptions in network operations and service access. UTES announced this on its Facebook page on Wednesday. Emergency repair crews are currently on-site, working diligently to restore the equipment and network as swiftly as possible. UTES assured that they would promptly provide updates on the restoration efforts and any changes in the situation.

On the other hand, Pavutyna informed its Telegram channel that its technical team was working to restore connectivity. They appealed for patience and thanked the public for their understanding, promising to provide additional information as soon as they acquired new updates.
