Cosmonova data center in Kyiv shuts down after Russian strikes as company shows aftermath
The Cosmonova data center will no longer operate because of damage it sustained in Russian strikes, according to the company’s announcement on its Facebook page on Sept. 26.
The Cosmonova data center in Kyiv has ceased operations following damage inflicted by Russian strikes, as disclosed by the company on its Facebook page on September 26. The company has initiated efforts to mitigate the damage and to partially relocate and restore services. Currently, access to the data center is partially restricted, even for Cosmonova's own specialists.
The company intends to provide updates on client equipment housed at the facility as it becomes accessible. On September 26 morning, internet provider Kolo.TV reported equipment damage resulting from Russia's strike on Kyiv. Numerous Ukrainian TV channels also announced suspended broadcasts and technical issues due to the Russian strike on the capital's data centers.
On September 23, a Russian attack targeted the data centers of Kyiv's internet providers UTELS and Pavutyna, causing some subscribers in Kyiv to experience connectivity and internet access disruptions. Additionally, a Russian strike damaged the data center of the national telecom operator Datagroup. On September 25, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced protective measures after a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff, following a series of Russian strikes on Kyiv's data centers and internet disruptions.
However, experts clarify that Russian strikes on network infrastructure will not be able to completely cut off the country's internet access.
