  "account": "On October 19, Russian forces launched a second attack on Datagroup PJSC's data center in Kyiv, completely destroying the infrastructure, according to CEO Mykhailo Shelemba's statement. The company's statement on Facebook said that the infrastructure was beyond repair and restoration was impossible. No employees were injured in this attack, and Datagroup's services continued to operate from backup sites. In September, Datagroup had already reported damage to its data center in the capital, but the company was working to restore the infrastructure. The company assured that no employees had been injured in that attack either, and customer data had been preserved.",
