Ukrainian Strikes on Russian Data Centres Disrupting Internet Services, FT Reports

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 · World News · GSM News

The Financial Times reported, in coverage highlighted by technology media on October 14, that Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centres are disrupting internet services in Russia. The reporting noted that under Russia's 2019 'sovereign internet' law, traffic was concentrated through a small number of operator nodes overseen by state communications regulator Roskomnadzor, a concentration that magnifies outages when facilities are hit. Russian officials have not publicly confirmed specific facility losses mentioned in the reporting.
