Lithuanian prime minister says more Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers could help safeguard European elections from interference
Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius suggested more strikes on Russian data centers when asked at the Warsaw Security Forum how European countries could protect their elections from interference, LRT reported.
Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius proposed conducting additional strikes on Russian data centers in response to a question at the Warsaw Security Forum, according to LRT. He believed that urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to strike more Russian data centers could potentially aid in safeguarding European elections from interference.
During his address, Sinkevičius also called for European nations to increase defense spending and enhance security cooperation. He emphasized that Europe should learn from Ukraine's experiences, advocating for greater information sharing, joint procurement, joint production, and joint exercises with Kyiv. Sinkevičius identified air defense, protection against drones, and countering hybrid threats as Lithuania's and NATO's top priorities.
Ukrainian drones targeted three Yandex data centers in Russia over the course of four days, leaving their services out of commission. Restoring the damaged infrastructure is projected to take six months and will incur significant costs due to sanctions and a global shortage of computing resources.
