Russia seeks new ways to terrorize civilians -- Sybiha on strikes on data centers
Russia is deliberately attacking critical civilian infrastructure that provides people with access to vital information.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed concern over Russia's increasing attacks on civilian infrastructure, particularly data centers. Speaking on the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Sybiha highlighted that Russia is deliberately targeting major Ukrainian data centers in an attempt to disrupt the flow of information and destabilize daily life. These attacks are not military targets, he stressed, but rather aim to terrorize civilians and severely impact the provision of essential services.
Sybiha emphasized that timely alerts about missile and drone attacks are crucial for saving lives. The Ukrainian diplomat argued that Russia is seeking new ways to undermine the country's stability and target civilians. He called for enhanced sanctions and the provision of more interceptor missiles to counter these threats.
On September 23, Russian attacks in Kyiv resulted in 43 casualties, including both fatalities and injuries. The assault involved the use of UAVs against various civilian targets, such as gas stations, a business center, an office building, a pharmaceutical company facility, a former market building, and properties near the railway station. Additionally, Russia targeted a data center, causing significant disruption to internet connectivity for approximately 100,000 households in the capital and surrounding region.
