Last week, the Ukrainian army attacked two large data centers operated by Russian tech company Yandex for two consecutive days. Russian Digital Development Minister Markut Shadayev stated in the State Duma on the 12th that, given the drone attacks on the facilities of Russian internet tech company Yandex, the Russian Digital Development Ministry is discussing data center protection issues with the Ministry of Defense.
Saddam Yev said: "Taking this opportunity, we want to point out that Yandex is facing unprecedented attacks. The Digital Development Department is working together with the Defense Ministry to discuss how best to protect these facilities."
