Hit more Russian data centres, says Lithuanian PM

WARSAW, October 12 — Ukrainian allies should be urging President Volodymyr Zelensky to target more Russian data centers, according to Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius. At the Warsaw Security Forum, Sinkevicius suggested that asking Zelensky to strike additional Russian data centers could aid in safeguarding elections within Lithuania, Poland, and other allied nations from interference.

He also emphasized the need for substantial investments in combating disinformation. Russian-owned Yandex data centers, frequently referred to as "Russia's Google," have been the targets of recent cyberattacks, following a series of assaults on similar facilities in Ukraine. Zelensky has asserted that the confrontations with Russian data centers have considerably decreased bot activity.

During his address at the forum, Zelensky noted that "when we began responding to Russia's assault on our data centers, it suddenly became a bit simpler to breathe on numerous social media platforms." He observed that "there was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations, because there were fewer bots."
