Kyiv Omega Telecom data center shut by Russian strikes

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and National Police arrested a suspected Russian collaborator, believed to be employed by the Federal Security Service (FSB), in Kyiv. The detainee was accused of assisting in the direction of long-range drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital from September 21 to 24. Ukrainian counterintelligence has been focusing on tracking Russian collaborators aiding Moscow's war effort in Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Recent Russian drone strikes on Kyiv's bridges have demonstrated their precision, which is attributed to the use of mesh radio networks and decelerated repeaters. On October 3, presidential advisor Serhii Flash Beskretnov stated that the high precision of Russian strikes could be due to the presence of mesh radio repeaters in Kyiv, implying the involvement of well-equipped collaborators. Recently, Russian drones struck two key Dnipro River bridges in Kyiv on consecutive days.
