Putin denies Russia preparing for war with Europe, blames Ukraine for stalled talks
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims that Moscow is preparing for military conflict with Europe, instead blaming Ukraine for stalled negotiations.
Russian strikes on Kyiv data centers on September 23-24 caused internet and hosting disruptions, with about 100,000 subscribers affected according to the Digital Transformation Ministry. MiroHost founder Oleksandr Olshanskyi, whose data center was destroyed, stated that destroying internet service in Ukraine is practically impossible without using nuclear or chemical weapons, or by destroying 70-80% of buildings in Kyiv.
Most critical data and systems have been moved to the cloud, and most subscribers outside Ukraine were unaffected. The attacks damaged a data center housing UTELS equipment, CityHost.UA, MiroHost, and Pavutyna network's data center. Russia's strikes are aimed at disrupting the country's functioning before the winter war, targeting critical civilian infrastructure.
Ukraine's telecom regulator stated providers were restoring services, with full recovery expected by 21:00 on September 24.
