Russian strikes on Kyiv data centers disrupt operations at several Ukrainian media outlets

Russian strikes on Kyiv data centers disrupted operations at several Ukrainian media outlets on Sept. 26, according to multiple reports. TV channel Novyny.Live temporarily suspended broadcasting, while Armiia TV also suspended operations. Public broadcaster Suspilne reported issues with its website video players due to damaged Cosmonova data center.

The attacks followed previous disruptions caused by Russian strikes on Kyiv data centers, causing internet outages and affecting cloud services and internet providers. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans to strengthen the protection of critical communications infrastructure following a meeting with military officials. Despite the damage, experts emphasized that completely disrupting Ukraine's internet would be challenging, as providers can mitigate the impact through duplication, backup routes, and infrastructure distribution across various locations.
